Virgin Atlantic will be celebrating their 25th anniversary milestone this year with a look back at how it has become a leading airline player. The inaugural flight, VS1 from Gatwick to Newark, New Jersey on 22nd June 1984, was a miracle in itself having been planned in just a few weeks.

Now, Virgin America uses 38 aircraft to fly six million people a year to 30 destinations around the world. The staff of 9,000 have built an airline that, after 25 years, is still red hot; an airline that focuses on being the best, not the biggest, and injects customer service and innovation into its daily philosophy.

  • Oh man! Our Price Records!!! Memories!!!!

  • @leberinth BA lost the right to claim to be 'Britain's flag carrier' in 1997, when they disgustingly tore the Union Jack off their aircraft, their CEO claiming they wanted to be an 'international' airline. It is now regarded as one of the biggest PR blunders of corperate history, particularly as Virgin picked up with pride what British Airways had threw away like trash. After BA's profits sagged dramatically, management backpeddled and reintroduced the flag, only after being shamed.

  • @andieatscandy If everyone live in yous socialist utopia there would be no fun no joy and we would end it all after a year by committing suicide.

  • Cool advert.....money well spend.
