The service will operate on the airline’s Boeing 787 aircraft which will offer up to 55 tonnes of cargo capacity, bolstering its existing daily trucking offering.

Dominic Kennedy, Managing Director of Virgin Atlantic Cargo said: “Virgin Atlantic’s cargo operation continues to grow at pace, and we very much look forward to growing our working relationships with customers in Europe following this latest route launch.”
