Virgin Atlantic flew its first cargo only flight on 21st March and has grown and evolved a significant programme of scheduled and charter cargo flying, averaging over 190 flights per week to new and existing destinations. In addition, we successfully partnered with the Department of Health and Social Care and the NHS, operating cargo-only flights from Shanghai to London Heathrow bringing over 4 million tonnes of essential medical equipment, supplies and PPE into the UK
