“For all of us at Virgin Atlantic, 2025 has been a standout year in India. It hasn’t been without its challenges for the industry, but what’s been truly inspiring is the resilience of demand and the continued confidence customers have shown in flying. Against that backdrop, seeing India become our third-largest market worldwide is something we’re incredibly proud of. Since 2019, we’ve increased capacity by around 350%, and today we operate five daily services from Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru to London Heathrow, connecting seamlessly onwards to our wider global network.

This year also carried special meaning as we celebrated 25 years of flying to India. We now offer 1 million seats annually across our India routes — a powerful reflection of the long-term belief we have in this market. Through our partnerships with IndiGo, Delta and Air France-KLM, customers across India can connect via a simple one-stop journey, with IndiGo alone opening up seamless access to 36 points across the country, alongside onward connections to the UK, US and Europe. And with one of the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleets in the sky, we’re able to deliver a more comfortable experience while keeping our impact on the planet lighter.

Looking ahead to 2026, we see India’s role in global aviation continuing to grow. Demand across premium leisure and business travel remains strong, and our focus is firmly on deepening our presence through smart partnerships, innovative products, and growth that’s genuinely responsible. Our ambition is to be a long-term partner in India’s aviation story — connecting people, families and businesses across India, the UK and North America in a way that feels uniquely Virgin Atlantic: warm, thoughtful, and increasingly sustainable.”
