A fire at an electrical sub station near Heathrow Airport has resulted in the airport’s temporary closure. Unfortunately, this has had a significant impact on Virgin Atlantic’s flying programme - both into and out of Heathrow, and all arriving and departing flights. Please see the latest update here.

We kindly request that all customers do not travel to London Heathrow or their scheduled departure airport, and instead check their flight status at virginatlatic.com.
