Virgin Atlantic confirmed additional flights on its Manchester to Orlando route for summer 2026 after Aer Lingus withdrew services while planning to deploy larger aircraft in winter. Further capacity increases are expected for 2027. The move addresses growing demand in the leisure market between the United Kingdom and Florida.
The airline aims to capitalise on the gap left by competitors in transatlantic leisure travel. Enhanced schedules provide more options for families and holidaymakers seeking direct connections. The decision reflects ongoing recovery in long-haul aviation post-pandemic.
