Gatwick fleet refit

THE WORLD'S MOST MODERN LEISURE FLEET

We’re really excited - G-VROM is nearly back with us, after being painted and refitted. ROM is the first of our leisure 747 fleet to go through the refurbishment programme, she’s looking fabulous and due to enter back into service the week of 21 May.

This refurbishment marks the culmination of years of work and we’re really looking forward to showcasing all of the exciting updates across the cabins.

For more information of what you can expect then keep reading, and of course we will keep you updated with images of G-VROM and the progress of the rest of the fleet over the coming weeks.

2012 sees the start of lots of exciting changes to the Virgin Atlantic Gatwick based fleet. Two years of research, planning and trailing are now at an end and our 747 aircrafts will soon be showcasing all the new things we have to offer, so the next time you fly with us, you could be onboard one of the world’s most modern leisure fleets.

We will be introducing brand new Economy seating, rolling out our award winning Premium Economy purple leather seats and refreshing our Upper Class Suites and Upper Class meal service too. This is of course on top of the refreshingly re-designed Economy meal service that was introduced at the end of last year.
