Virgin Atlantic has once again graced the skies of Dubai, marking its grand return since its last flight to the UAE in 2019.
Kicking off a four-weekly service from the iconic London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL) on 30th October, the esteemed dnata ground handling team warmly received the inaugural flight.
The airline chose the advanced Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to operate this revived route.
Liezl Gericke, Virgin Atlanticβs Head of International, expressed her enthusiasm, stating: βDubai has always held a special place in our hearts. The time finally feels right to reintroduce this beloved route, much to the joy of our patrons.

βWe eagerly await our returning and new passengers. Be it for work, leisure, or reunions with loved ones in the UK, we’re here to make the journey unforgettable,β she added.
Echoing the sentiment, Jaffar Dawood, dnataβs Senior Vice President of Airport Operations for the UAE and MEA, said, βThe return of Virgin Atlantic to Dubai International marks an exciting phase. With Dubai emerging as the top winter sun destination, we are ready and thrilled to collaborate with the airline’s local team to ensure travellers have an unparalleled airport experience.β
