Friday, May 31, 2024 Virgin Atlantic is celebrating its 40th anniversary on June 22, 1984, by launching a series of special initiatives and introducing new offerings for its patrons. This includes the debut of a distinct 40th birthday logo, reflecting the vibrant red stripe of its inaugural plane, Maiden Voyager. The logo will be featured on various new products throughout June, symbolizing a bright contrast in the monochrome airline industry.
The airline’s commitment to exceptional service, provided by its outstanding team, continues to distinguish it in the sector. The festivities begin at Virgin Atlantic’s flagship London Heathrow Clubhouse, first opened in 2006, where Upper Class customers can enjoy a special 40th birthday pale ale. This exclusive beer, brewed in Wimbledon, features English Maris Otter and Cara malt, delivering a zesty, smooth taste with a robust aroma, available from June 1st onward.
Moreover, all Virgin Atlantic Clubhouses will offer a new cocktail named Maiden Voyager, after the airline’s first aircraft. This cocktail is a contemporary twist on the classic 80s ‘Woo Woo’ drink, made with vodka, peach puree, fresh lime, grenadine, egg white, and peach bitters. Additionally, the clubhouses will serve a unique 40th birthday cake—a red velvet sponge paired with whipped cream and berries—and will play popular 80s music to enhance the celebratory atmosphere.
A highlight of the anniversary celebrations is a display of cabin crew uniforms over the.
