It is permanently ending flights after30 years flying there.
It cites various ‘complexities’ notably the closure of Russian airspace.
It adds nearly two hours to flights out of Hong Kong.
Virgin is also closing its Hong Kong office.
“After careful consideration we’ve taken the difficult decision to suspend our London Heathrow – Hong Kong services and close our Hong Kong office, after almost 30 years,” the airline said.
The airline previously announced it would restart Hong Kong flights in March 2023.
Virgin said it will provide refunds or vouchers for alternate Virgin Atlantic flights for customers.
