Mumbai: Richard Branson-promoted Virgin Atlantic, which is re-launching its Mumbai-London flight from Sunday after a three-year gap, today said it would fly to Hyderabad, Bangalore and Goa as and when it gets the approvals.
"We are planning to apply for flying rights to Hyderabad, Bangalore and Goa," Virgin Atlantic president Richard Branson told reporters here after announcing the re-introduction of Mumbai services.
However, he also noted that "it maybe difficult to get slots at the Heathrow airport."
Virgin Atlantic, which had closed Mumbai operations three years ago, but continued to fly to New Delhi, would launch its Mumbai services from October 28 with a wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft.
"We are delighted to be back in Mumbai. Virgin would not only connect Mumbai to London, but its daily flights also offer seamless connectivity from London to New York, Boston, Miami and Washington and Chicago, with only a couple of hours of stop-over," Branson said.
