(TAN): Virgin Atlantic will fly to the Bahamas from London Heathrow this winter as well as increasing frequency to Barbados, the airline has announced. As travel restrictions around the world begin to relax, the new services aim to respond to the pent-up demand from consumers looking to head off on a relaxing holiday to a sunny Caribbean destination.
Juha Jarvinen, chief commercial officer at Virgin Atlantic, said, “We are seeing a real demand from our customers for luxury holidays in the sun with Brits keen to escape on their next adventure after a difficult year. With 16 islands surrounded by the world’s clearest water, the Bahamas offers the perfect escape for those travellers looking to either simply relax or explore a new corner of the world.”
