Virgin Atlantic, founded in 1984 by Sir Richard Branson, is a British airline renowned for its innovative approach to air travel. Headquartered in Crawley, West Sussex, the airline operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing wide-body aircraft, serving destinations across North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
The airline’s inaugural flight took place on June 22, 1984, from London Gatwick to Newark, New Jersey. Since then, Virgin Atlantic has distinguished itself by introducing industry firsts, such as individual seat-back televisions and a premium economy cabin, enhancing the passenger experience.
In 2012, Virgin Atlantic formed a strategic alliance with Delta Air Lines, expanding its network and offering customers access to a broader range of destinations. This partnership was further strengthened in 2019 with the inclusion of Air France-KLM, providing passengers with seamless connectivity across multiple continents.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Virgin Atlantic statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
