Virgin Airlines
Virgin Airlines, also known as Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Airways, is owned by British tycoon Richard Branson and his Virgin group. The airline began operating in 1984, using London’ Gatwick and Heathrow Airports as its two main hubs, and Manchester International Airport in Manchester, UK, as its secondary hub. The airline’s headquarter office is in Crawley, UK.

Virgin Airlines flies to 31 destinations all over the world, from the British Virgin Islands, Australia, Japan, and America. Virgin Airline’s main rivals are Nippon on its Japan route, Quantas on its Australian route, and British Airways and Air France on its other routes. Virgin and British Airways have a long standing rivalry, and Virgin Airlines airplanes are often painted with slogans that taunt British Airways.

In 2007, Virgin plans to expand its service into new markets, especially on its transatlantic routes. Virgin had plans to expand further into Asia during 2007, but the order they placed with Airbus for several new planes able to handle this service have been delayed until 2013.
