Virgin Atlantic has laid out a number of noteworthy plans for 2025, with an emphasis on growing its worldwide network and improving the traveler experience.
New Services and Routes:
Accra, Ghana: Virgin Atlantic will start operating daily flights between London Heathrow and Accra’s Kotoka International Airport on May 1, 2025, following a break since 2013. In addition to making travel easier for both business and leisure travelers, this service seeks to deepen ties with the sizable Ghanaian diaspora in the UK.
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: On March 30, 2025, the airline will launch a daily flight to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. In addition to serving business travelers and tourists interested in Saudi Arabia’s cultural attractions, this route is anticipated to contribute to the expanding trade ties between the UK and Saudi Arabia.
Cancun, Mexico: On October 19, 2025, Virgin Atlantic will launch three weekly direct flights from London Heathrow to Cancun. Leisure travelers looking for well-liked vacation spots are served by this route.
Toronto, Canada: Beginning on March 30, 2025, the airline will offer direct flights from London Heathrow back to Toronto Pearson International Airport. In an effort to improve connectivity between the UK and Canada, Virgin Atlantic is launching its first Canadian route in more than ten years.

Meanwhile, Virgin Atlantic is spending $17 billion to update its fleet and add new planes, such as the Airbus A330neo.
Upgraded cabins in every class, customized in-seat mood lighting, and Bluetooth-enabled seatback screens are just a few of the passenger-focused amenities on these aircraft. By operating on a variety of long-haul routes, the A330neo will help create a fleet that is younger and uses less fuel.
The daily flights to London Heathrow have been restored, giving Accra residents and visitors better access to the UK and beyond. It is anticipated that this service will increase tourism, ease travel for the Ghanaian diaspora, and fortify commercial relations between Ghana and the UK.
