Virgin Atlantic Cargo to add more capacity to Johannesburg, Lagos by 2020

November 20, 2019: Virgin Atlantic Cargo will launch a new flying programme for 2020, which aims to provide additional capacity for cargo flying to India, Africa, and the United States.

The aircraft is already significantly boosting cargo capacity on its current routing between London and New York.

Dominic Kennedy, managing director of Virgin Atlantic Cargo, noted, “These new routes and frequencies for summer 2020 are great news for our cargo customers.

India, South Africa, and Nigeria are very important and growing routes for our cargo business, so our commitment to offering more capacity connecting customers in these countries to their prime UK and US markets will help to open up opportunities for more import and export growth.”

A second daily B787 service will be introduced by March 29 to Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport, India, departing from Heathrow, London in the morning and complementing the airline’s current evening departure.

With the additional flight to Delhi, alongside newly-launched daily Mumbai service which commenced last month, summer 2020 will see Virgin Atlantic Cargo offer more choice to India to support its thriving import and export markets.
