wise, Dominic Kennedy, Managing Director of Virgin Atlantic Cargo while
reflecting on a pretty good month of May looks to double down the impact
his group of logisticians are delivering to the airline.“May was an historic month for our cargo business, which is a quite remarkable achievement given the current trading environment. “As well as demonstrating our customers’ confidence in Virgin Atlantic, this is a tribute to everyone in the airline who remains so committed to maintaining our customer offering despite the uncertainties which persist in the market. June will see this offering grow again and we are hoping for similar customer support now we have proven the resilience of our cargo-only flying program with a total of 601 flights – 597 cargo-only services and 4 repatriation flights for the UK’s Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO).
