UK carrier Virgin Atlantic, known for its refreshingly different approach to long-haul flying, has just announced that it is looking to provide services between its extensive US bases and Croatia via London Heathrow.
Routes would operate thanks to a partnership between Virgin Atlantic and Croatia Airlines, through the international alliance Discover the World. Details will be ironed out in the coming months.
Head of Airline Partnerships and Development for Discover the World, Aiden Walsh, commented: "We have been working with the Virgin Atlantic team for some time to focus on incremental opportunities across Europe and where we can see the growth potential into Virgin’s extensive network especially to North America. Croatia and Serbia are both underserved with direct connections to North America. Our focus is to maximise the interline partnerships Virgin Atlantic have in place and work our strong trade relationships. We look forward to getting started”.
