The new year-round service will initially operate four times per week before increasing daily from November 28.
“We are delighted to continue our expansion in the US with this new daily service to Tampa offering even more choice for customers on both sides of the Atlantic to connect between the US and the UK,” Virgin Atlantic’s chief commercial officer Juha Jarvinen said in a press release.
“Florida is very much a firm favorite for our customers ever since our first flight to Miami back in 1986,” Jarvinen continued. “With the popular theme parks and the stunning beaches of St. Pete and Clearwater within easy reach, we know it’s an area our customers will love to explore.”
With the addition of the new transatlantic route, Virgin Atlantic will be the only airline to fly direct from London Heathrow to Tampa International.
