Shivani Singh Deo, Country Manager- India, Virgin Atlantic shared a year-end quote for 2024 and prospects for 2025. She said: “2024 was a dynamic year for the Indian aviation sector, marked by robust growth in domestic and international travel. For Virgin Atlantic, this positive momentum, coupled with our 40th-anniversary celebrations, underscored the resilience and potential of India as our key market.
Our ambitious growth plans for 2025, with almost a million seats available in India, reflect our confidence in the long-term prospects of this market. This year, the launch of our direct flights from London Heathrow to Bengaluru and increased capacity for Mumbai further strengthens our network to UK and US, offering greater choice and convenience for our customers.
We believe 2025 will be a pivotal year for Indian aviation, as the country strengthens its position as a major global aviation hub, driven by increasing demand and infrastructure investments. Virgin Atlantic is committed to playing a leading role in shaping a more sustainable future for the industry, continuing to bridge cultures and economies between the UK and India for years to come.”
