Corneel Koster, Chief Customer Officer, Virgin Atlantic said: "We will always ensure that health and safety remain our number one priority, whilst keeping our signature Virgin spirit and I am proud of all our teams who have been working tirelessly to implement new measures and evolve our customer experience.
"We are looking forward to welcoming customers back onboard, taking them to the skies safely and in true Virgin Atlantic style."
