Cuts to services to begin tomorrow, Tuesday 17th

By 26th March, 80% of services will be suspended and 75% of aircraft grounded

At some points in April, 85% of aircraft will be grounded

Heathrow to Newark is terminated permanently

All staff to be asked to take 2 months unpaid leave over the next 3 months

All staff to be offered voluntary redundancy

Thoughts are with all the staff here, especially after reading through the measures being implemented around redundancies, unpaid leaves, sabbaticals etc.

Very sad news for Virgin and all the staff

Started today the vs007 was cancelled
