Virgin Atlantic - 13 Apr 2004

Her Majesty The Queen today named Virgin Atlantic AirwayÃ•s latest Airbus A340-600 Ã’Queen of the SkiesÃ“ at a ceremony at the Airbus factory in Toulouse. The event was part of a state visit to France to celebrate the centenary of the Entente Cordiale. The original Entente Cordiale agreement was signed on 8 April 1904.

In the spirit of Entente Cordiale VirginÃ•s famous Flying Lady illustration on the aircraft fuselage features the Union Jack and the French flag and the inscription below her is in English on the port side and is French on the starboard. Ã’Queen of the SkiesÃ“ is also translated into Ã’Reine des cieuxÃ“ on the starboard side.
