Virgin add live sports on Starlink equipment aircraft

No official statement on the trade website, but in several other news outlets quoting Virgin.
Fantastic addition!
I believe it's via your own device (like Qatar do by QR scanning) rather than in the IFE screens

Sport 24 is great, we see (and use) it on the cruise ships all the time.

For those not aware it's (2) channels cover most of the top premier league, and other sports very well. Crucially this also isn't embargoed like UK based broadcasters to not showing 3pm Saturday kick offs, so on flights to US from UK on typical timings we will be able to watch live Premier league (and maybe 2 games if they get the Sport24-2 channel). This is really good from a customer point of view.
