Virgin Exportese Adds Milano and Pakistan

  Virgin Atlantic Cargo is extending its cargo-only network to Italy, with twice-weekly services Saturday September 12, connecting London Heathrow and Milan.
  The VS Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 flights from London every Thursday and Sunday add up to 200 tons of cargo capacity a week for shippers via Milan’s Malpensa Airport.
  “Since our first cargo-only flight on March 22nd, we’ve operated over 1,800 of these services, helping our customers deliver nearly 50 million kilos of cargo and, in the process, provided a valuable source of revenue for Virgin Atlantic as we continue our recovery program,” Dominic Kennedy, Managing Director of Virgin Atlantic Cargo declared.
  Carlo Gonzata, Managing Director of ADP in Italy, is enthusiastic:
  “As Italy continues to rise from the pandemic, it is especially welcome news that Milan and its catchment area can now access direct capacity to and from the UK with Virgin Atlantic and seamless onward connections to major U.S. cities, and elsewhere.”
  In a related development VS said it will be launching flights between the UK and Pakistan in December 2020, operating three new routes; London Heathrow to Lahore; London Heathrow to Islamabad as well as Manchester to Islamabad.
