Interesting to see G VROS inbound today, positioning, although the history shows she's been all over recently??

She's been doing a lot of charter flights lately, I have no idea for whom though.

The VS Source is a good source (sorry!) of info!

Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-443 G-VROS operated a Stockholm Arlanda – San Francisco – Los Angeles charter this afternoon as VS9973. The aircraft then positioned Los Angeles – London Gatwick as VS977P.


and the day before

Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-443 G-VROS operated an Orlando – Philadelphia – Stockholm Arlanda charter this evening as VS9976.

I wonder if this is also something to do with the subsidiary company VS set up the other year as well? (Virgin Atlantic International) which operates out of LGW?

There's very little info about it and VS have been very very tight-lipped about the reason why they set up this subsidiary company at the end of 2015, which started operating in 2016.

Part of large series of private charters operated by several companies including mine over the past 3 weeks.
