Virgin Atlantic to go twice daily to Hong Kong - 100 new cabin crew jobs to be created

Steve Ridgway, Chief Executive of Virgin Atlantic, said:"East is the new West and this second daily service will offer our passengers even more opportunities via Hong Kong, which is the third busiest long-haul route out of Heathrow after New York's JFK and Dubai. Virgin Atlantic, which is highly committed to the city and the Pearl River Delta, has flown well over 2 million passengers on this route since we started flying in 1994 and it remains one of our most popular services. We offer a big thankyou to the Hong Kong Airport authorities for helping to make this extra service a reality."4:37 PM on June 11
