Protect British Jobs. Protect Virgin Atlantic.
Virgin Atlantic employ over 10,000 people and fly over 5 million passengers and 217,000 tons of cargo around the world every year.
We are asking the government to grant Virgin Atlantic the commercial loan they need in order to secure our future and maintain vital competition in the airline sector.
Virgin creates a competitive edge to the market, creating a fair and affordable option, bringing long-haul travel to the millions.
Virgin Atlantic is a UK-registered company that contributes around £350m to HMRC each year.
Many of our colleagues are still working around the clock to deliver critical medical cargo flights to the UK as well as volunteering on the front line with the NHS.
We are asking you, our Government, to ignore the sensationalist headlines and to put our people first.
