Virgin Atlantic is to restore its second daily Los Angeles-Heathrow service this winter, while also confirming its newly launched Belfast-Orlando flights will return in 2016.
Virgin’s additional route will replace partner Delta’s LAX-Heathrow service, which will cease in October.
At the same time, Delta will also cease its Newark-Heathrow daily service. It will continue to codeshare on the Virgin LA and Newark routes to Heathrow.
The two carriers also operate eight flights a day between Heathrow and New York JFK.
Meantime, Virgin has confirmed that its summer Belfast to Orlando flights, which launch this week, will return in 2016.
The airline said the weekly service, which will run for four weeks this summer, will return at the end of June next year, as part of its joint venture with Delta.
