Celebrating 16 years of flying between the UK and South Africa, Virgin Atlantic's Country Manager for South Africa, Simon Newton-Smith, says: “As we celebrate 15 years of connecting two of the world’s major hubs, it has been a pleasure for Virgin Atlantic to re-unite family and friends and carry tourists to some of the world’s most beautiful holiday destinations. Last year we contributed an estimated R400 million to the tourism economy of South Africa and, as we increase the number of flights between London and Cape Town, we demonstrate our continued commitment to South Africa and to ensuring a practical and unique flying experience for all our passengers."

Virgin Atlantic's Chief Executive, Steve Ridgway, says: “As one of the first new airlines to start flying to Johannesburg 15 years ago, Virgin Atlantic has played a crucial role in supporting the growing business and tourism links between South Africa and Britain. Indeed this year we have seen a record-breaking amount  of cargo exported from Britain to South Africa and the amount of freight transported between the two countries is up almost a third compared to last year. We’ve moved pretty much everything from flowers, books, machinery, car parts and yes…..even kitchen sinks. We are keen to further strengthen trade between these two nations”.
