Pride month is a time for celebration, reflection

Pride month is a time for celebration, reflection and recognition, when the LGBTQ+ community unite under the rainbow banner of their chosen Pride Flag. This year we’re flying the Progress flag, which was designed in 2018 to be a more inclusive symbol of the LGBQT+ community. It builds on the traditional Pride rainbow by adding the colours of marginalised POC (People of Colour) and of the trans community. It’s a beautiful reflection of progression and inclusion - and we recognise that this is needed now, more than ever. Read more through the link in our bio.

This very special registration, G-VPRD, is named after our internal LGBTQ+ network. Our Airbus A350, Rain Bow, will celebrate diversity and inclusion at Virgin Atlantic every day while flying around the world.⁣⁣⁣⁣

This Pride month, we caught up with some of our LGBTQ+ community on what G-VPRD means to them. Kiel told us that whilst Virgin Atlantic has always been an inclusive place, known for championing LGBTQ+ rights, we didn’t have an LGBTQ+ employee network until 2018. Nick and Kiel saw an opportunity to bring our internal LGBTQ+ community together, and so G-VPRD was created. By doing this, they showed that we could have a greater collective impact and achieve even more for our community – both inside Virgin Atlantic and around the world. Registering an aircraft in honour of the network and including the first male icon is an even greater example of VAA’s commitment to equality.⁣⁣⁣

We’re beyond proud to have teamed up with @virgi

We’re beyond proud to have teamed up with @virginunite in support of @UNICEF by donating a special cargo flight from Hong Kong to Johannesburg, bringing in a whole plane load of essential PPE equipment for the medical community and other frontline workers in Mozambique and Eswatini. ⁣

We are incredibly grateful to medical professionals who are working tirelessly at this difficult time. Today’s flight follows existing PPE flights we’ve undertaken in partnership with the Department of Health and NHS to transport vital medical supplies.

Happy Birthday to us! We’re 36 today and like so many of you, we’ll be having a very low key lockdown celebration this year, but there will definitely be cake. We can’t wait to celebrate properly with all our lovely customers when we take to the skies again soon. ❤️⁣

We’ve been saying an emotional goodbye to our 747s this year as they soar off to retirement. This week, crowds gathered at @manairportuk to wave off a particularly special lady – G-VLIP, who you might know better as The Falcon. And as she took off for her new life, she waved right back ❤️

Last week, our Cargo team added even more routes to their essential supply lines. For the first time, Virgin Atlantic planes touched down in Beijing and in Brussels. It’s been amazing to see how quickly we can adapt to flying in a completely different way, to completely different destinations.

Introducing our personal Health Packs. All custome

Introducing our personal Health Packs. All customers travelling with us will receive one when they board the aircraft. Including a mask, hand gel, and antibacterial wipes, they’re a great way to help everyone feel safe. And while practising good hygiene is a serious matter, we couldn’t resist giving the packaging a little bit of fun Virgin flair.

Today, we’re marking World Environment Day. We’re very proud of the work we’ve done so far, including being the first airline to fly a commercial aircraft using sustainable aviation fuel in 2018. But we know there’s still so much to do. By 2022, Virgin Atlantic will have the youngest, cleanest, and greenest fleet in the skies. And until then, we’ll be doing everything in our power to lower our carbon footprint, use the most sustainable products, and position our business as a force for good.
