“2024 was a dynamic year for the Indian aviation sector, marked by robust domestic and international travel growth. For Virgin Atlantic, this positive momentum, coupled with our 40th-anniversary celebrations, underscored the resilience and potential of India as our key market.

Our ambitious growth plans for 2025, with almost a million seats available in India, reflect our confidence in the long-term prospects of this market. This year, the launch of our direct flights from London Heathrow to Bengaluru and increased capacity for Mumbai further strengthens our network to the UK and the US, offering more excellent choices and convenience for our customers.

2025 will be a pivotal year for Indian aviation as it strengthens its position as a central global hub driven by increasing demand and infrastructure investments. Virgin Atlantic is committed to playing a leading role in shaping a more sustainable future for the industry, continuing to bridge cultures and economies between the UK and India for years to come.”
