Virgin Atlantic dropping Austin flights


Virgin Atlantic dropping Austin flights

Sunday, 27 Oct, 2023 0

Virgin Atlantic will end Austin flights early next year.

The route will be suspended due to ‘sofetening demand’ for business travel.

It is specifically impacting the tech sector, the airline says.

The last Austin flight departs from London on January 7, 2024.

Customers scheduled to fly after this date will be offered rebooking options or a full refund.

The route launched last year and is in competition with British Airways on the route.

We’ve adored flying our customers to Austin but demand in the tech sector is not set to improve in the near term,” said Juha Jarvinen, Virgin chief commercial officer.

“AUS is grateful to Virgin Atlantic for launching this ambitious route. We hope to welcome them back one day.,” Austin-Bergstrom International Airport said.
