The @Airbus#BelugaXL making its debut at @HeathrowAirport on Monday! 🤩 Amazing to see this unique aircraft, the newest of the Beluga fleet, just as the sun was setting 🔥 The XL came to deliver a horizontal stabiliser for a wounded @British_Airways A350 ✈️

Raising some money for @CR_UK and cycling 300 miles in July. I’d be very grateful for any donation, however big or small. Doesn’t matter to me. (Living is expensive, I know). What matters is helping fund cancer research. Thank you beautiful X people ❤️ https://t.co/Y5yaPErBR1

This month marks 30 years of Virgin Atlantic serving Manchester.
They have also just registered their newest A330-900 ‘G-VMAN’ and named it ‘champagne Supernova’.

UK airlines are clear that they are not currently seeing a shortage of jet fuel.
