This winter, Virgin will fly its largest schedule from Manchester, with the headline addition of a third weekly Barbados service.
It will also deploy Boeing 747 aircraft on a greater number of services to New York JFK, increasing Manchester-JFK capacity 65% year-on-year.
Virgin is also planning to bring its Clubhouse experience to Manchester for the first time, as well as a refurbished Virgin Holidays v-room.
The additions to its flight schedule represent a 92% increase in Virgin flights from Manchester since 2014.
The airline has also promised “further new flights and destinations” are to follow “in the near future”.
