Samarbetet som lanserades i oktober, tillåter anslutning med SAS via Heathrow till många av Virgin Atlantics destinationer. Kunder som flyger till USA och Kanada kan ansluta smidigt via London Heathrow eller Manchester, från Stockholm, Oslo, Köpenhamn, Stavanger och Bergen.
Codeshare mellan de två SkyTeam-flygbolagen har redan lanserats till spännande destinationer, som Barbados, Antigua och Jamaica.
Virgin Atlantic jobbar nu aktivt för att få ytterligare destinationer godkända som till exempel Saint Lucia, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Johannesburg, Kapstaden, Mumbai, Delhi och Maldiverna. Förhoppningsvis kommer ett godkännande ganska snart.
Då SAS nu är medlem i SkyTeam, där Virgin Atlantic är det enda brittiska flygbolaget, kommer SAS EuroBonus-medlemmar att kunna tjäna och lösa in poäng när de reser med Virgin Atlantic. Likaså kommer Virgin Atlantic Flying Club-medlemmar kunna tjäna och lösa in sina poäng på SAS.

About Virgin Atlantic
Virgin Atlantic was founded by entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson in 1984, with innovation and amazing customer service at its core. In 2023, Virgin Atlantic was voted Britain’s only Global Five Star Airline by APEX for the seventh year running in the Official Airline Ratings. Headquartered in London, it employs more than 8,500 people worldwide, flying customers to 30 destinations across four continents throughout the year.
Alongside shareholder and Joint Venture partner Delta Air Lines, Virgin Atlantic operates a leading transatlantic network, with onward connections to over 200 cities around the world. In February 2020, Air France-KLM, Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic launched an expanded Joint Venture, offering a comprehensive route network, convenient flight schedules, competitive fares and reciprocal frequent flyer benefits, including the ability to earn and redeem miles across all carriers. Virgin Atlantic joined SkyTeam in March 2023 as the global airline alliance’s first and only UK member airline, enhancing the alliance’s transatlantic network and services to and from Heathrow and Manchester Airport.
Virgin Atlantic has been pioneering sustainability leadership for more than 15 years, committing to Net Zero by 2050 and continuous action that reduces environmental impact. The airline operates one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient fleets in the skies, with an average age under seven years. In October 2022, Virgin Atlantic welcomed its first A330-900’s to the fleet, continuing its transformation towards 100% next generation aircraft by 2028. In November 2023, the airline led a consortium to deliver the world’s first flight across the Atlantic on 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), demonstrating that 100% SAF can be used safely as a drop in fuel in existing infrastructure, engines and airframes. The need to scale production is an industry imperative and Virgin Atlantic is committed to radical collaboration across the energy chain to support commercialisation ahead of 2030.
