Virgin Atlantic has announced that it is terminating its only route to mainland China at the end of the summer 2024 season, citing ‘significant challenges and complexities’ due to being unable to overfly Russia.
The final Virgin Atlantic flight from London Heathrow Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport will depart on Oct. 25, returning the following day. Virgin currently operates the 4,987-nm route daily, operating a Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
