Virgin Atlantic will boost capacity on routes from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Boston and New York for its northern hemisphere summer 2024 schedule.
The airline will open a seventh daily frequency on the LHR-New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) route. It will also add a second daily frequency between LHR and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS).
The airline is operating the routes in coordination with SkyTeam partner Delta Air Lines. On the LHR-JFK route, Delta will operate 3X-daily service during the 2024 summer, giving the carriers a combined 10 daily flights on the route. Delta will also operate 1X-daily service on the LHR-BOS route, giving the airlines a combined 3X-daily flights.
Virgin Atlantic indicated it will use Airbus A330-900neo and A350-1000 aircraft on both the LHR-JFK and LHR-BOS routes during the 2024 summer season.
Virgin Atlantic previously announced it would boost flights on the LHR-Miami International Airport route from 11X-weekly to 2X-daily for the 2024 summer. LHR to Orlando, Florida, and San Francisco are the other U.S. routes on which 2X-daily service is planned.
Overall, the carrier says it will offer an average of 27 daily flights to the U.S. in its summer 2024 schedule.
