Virgin Atlantic Launching Flights To Mumbai

Virgin Atlantic’s expansion continues! So far this year Virgin Atlantic has announced new routes to Tel Aviv and Sao Paulo, and now they’re announcing yet another new route.

Virgin Atlantic will be launching daily flights between London Heathrow and Mumbai as of October 27, 2019. Flights are expected to go on sale as of Tuesday, May 28, 2019.

This announcement marks a service resumption, as the airline canceled their Mumbai route about four years ago. It also marks Virgin Atlantic doubling their capacity to India, given that they currently only fly to Delhi.

Virgin Atlantic intends to use a Boeing 787-9 for the Mumbai route, featuring 258 seats. This includes 31 Upper Class seats, 35 premium economy seats, and 192 economy seats.
This flight covers a distance of ~4,500 miles in each direction, and is blocked at 8hr55min eastbound and 10hr10min westbound.
