Should the article be moved to "Virgin Atlantic" as the common name? MilborneOne ( talk) 10:08, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Is the business trends section and table needed? I only ask as similar tables in the British Airways and British Midland International articles were removed. Cloudbound ( talk) 21:49, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
In the Competition section there is a statement "King called the CAA's decision, which the Government had endorsed, "a confiscation of his company's property"." Who is this 'King'? The citation linked (citation 13, linked to http://www.acl-uk.org/UserFiles/File/BAA%20TDR%20consultation%20paper%20_LHR.pdf) doesn't mention anything about this incident and looks to be a completely irrelevant document. Flibblesan ( talk) 08:53, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
Field should reflect a summary of ownership structure, so not every 2% shareholder, but the majors. To only have Virgin Group implies 100% ownership which isn't the case. Refer Virgin Australia Holdings, Virgin Cruises and Virgin Rail Group for other examples. Goldgold12 ( talk) 06:51, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
I'm with Goldgold12 on this one -- Virgin Group is not the sole parent company, it seems far preferable to me to accurately reflect the ownership split in the infobox (irrespective of how this field is named). To do otherwise is simply misleading. └ UkPaolo/ talk┐ 07:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
There is lots of reporting of the return of VS025 this morning due to a laser beam injuring a pilot. IMHO, this incident is not notable enough to be mentioned in the article yet. Let's wait for the AAIB report (if any) or until a conviction is obtained for the perpetrators, then reassess. Mjroots ( talk) 11:39, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
I have added an image of the A340 in a hangar at LHR to the Livery section. I know this image came up for discussion in Talk 2007 ( /info/en/?search=Talk:Virgin_Atlantic/Archive_1#Image_of_A340_in_maintenance_hangar), however, its quality has been improved since then and the livery and logo of the airline has changed so it gives some historical comparison. KlickingKarl ( talk) 14:54, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
I tried to challenge the addition of the "Boom Overture" and suchlike in the fleet section and narative. None of the references used mention "Virgin Atlantic" not even Booms own website. If nobody comes up with a reliable reference in the next few days I will remove it again,thanks. MilborneOne ( talk) 17:13, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Virgin Atlantic has changed some 'codeshare partners'. "Air China is not on the list anymore" website: https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/before-you-book/partner-airlines.html Carl Grassfield ( talk) 21:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello! Just clarify since Virgin Atlantic codeshare LATAM Airlines, does it mean that they codeshare to LATAM Brasil? Sources said so by the way from Virgin Atlantic source. Together with LATAM we can offer travel direct from London Heathrow to São Paulo, with onward domestic connections throughout Brazil. ( [3]) so yeah. Just some clarification if they did codeshare to LATAM Brasil or other subsidiary of LATAM Airlines Group. Thanks! Cornerstone2.0 ( talk) 08:18, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

@ Snowboarder888 I understand you are editing this section as part of a university assignment, but please refrain from: a) writing in such a biased way (leaning heavily in favour of what the airline says, with no criticism) and b) providing sources that are only somewhat related to the claims you make in your edits (find better sources which back up the specific claims in your edits, please).
