Virgin Atlantic Group made a pre-tax loss of £28.4 million, compared with a £23 million profit in 2016. The deficit came despite a £15.5 million contribution from Virgin Holidays.
Virgin Atlantic chief executive Craig Kreeger said: “There were three big external issues that we had to deal with in 2017: the full-year impact of a weak sterling relative to the dollar, an industry-wide engine supply issue and severe hurricane disruption in the Caribbean and US.”
