Virgin Atlantic will be welcoming customers back onboard this June, from Antigua to London Heathrow. The schedule will commence with one flight a week increasing the schedule to three-times a week from Mid-July.   

Hannah Swift, Caribbean Country Manager says, “We are delighted to welcome our passengers back on board this route and look forward to welcoming them to Antigua. The island is the perfect holiday destination for those wanting some much-needed beach time on one of our 365 beaches. The island is a safe space to holiday with over 25% of the population fully vaccinated and no quarantine time in certified accommodation.”

Virgin Atlantic has adapted its onboard service to ensure the highest level of health and safety standards whilst ensuring the signature Virgin flair remains for all its customers. All these changes are made in accordance with the airline’s comprehensive health and safety measures, implemented to offer peace of mind in the airport and when taking to the skies. These include enhanced and thorough cleaning practices at check in, boarding gates and onboard including the use of electrostatic spraying of high-grade disinfectant in all cabins and lavatories before every flight, ensuring no surface is left untouched.
