Virgin Atlantic First Class

Virgin Atlantic started life back in 1984, with just one plane and a lot of ambition. Managing Director Richard Branson financed further aircraft by borrowing from his Record Label and grew the business very quickly. Virgin Atlantic is now valued at over £1bn and is half owned by the Virgin Group, with Singapore Airlines owning 49% of the company shares. Virgin Atlantic’s first scheduled flight was from Gatwick to Newark and has since added many new destinations.
