VS Bulletin: Important upcoming change to support Virgin Atlantic’s summer flying programme - 10 July 2026

To help ensure that our mutual customers can enjoy their journeys as planned during the busy summer travel period, Virgin Atlantic are introducing an additional Airbus A330 into their Manchester operation from 17th July, to 4th September 2026.  Due to fleet availability issues, the aircraft will be operated by Wamos Air and will be used on selected flights between Manchester and Atlanta and Manchester and New York JFK.

The aircraft previously formed part of the Virgin Atlantic fleet, so the seat layout is consistent with Virgin Atlantic’s aircraft of this type. While the cabin crew will be from Wamos Air, to help ensure customers experience the warmth and care they're used to when flying with Virgin Atlantic, members of the Virgin Atlantic team will be onboard to support customers throughout their journey. 

These changes will be reflected in GDS’s from 11th July and there is no action required. Customers who have contact details in their bookings will be informed of the change directly.
