Virgin resumes flights to Tobago

Tuesday, 11 November 20143 min read

Virgin Atlantic is offering services from Gatwick to the island of Tobago from March 2015.

The airline will be resuming flights to the southern Caribbean island with weekly departures between March and October, and twice weekly departures between October and March.

The flights, in response to an opening in the market, will be operating as an additional sector beyond Virgin Atlantic’s non-stop St Lucia services, meaning a short stop in St Lucia before the flight continues to Tobago.

Joe Thompson, director of network and alliances at Virgin Atlantic said: "We are always looking for opportunities to grow our network and provide our customers with even more travel options and with other operators withdrawing from this route, we believe our new services will be very popular with British holidaymakers."

The services will depart from Gatwick on Sunday mornings during the summer season, with the overnight return service leaving Tobago on Sunday evenings.

During the winter season, flights will depart from Gatwick on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, with flights from Tobago departing on Tuesday and Saturday evenings, landing into London the following morning.
