Virgin Virtual Airways takes to the Skies.

It had been a funny week at the Flying Tigers Group forum, as a buzz of activity and excitement had been sparked by a rumor that three new airlines would be joining their growing family.After seemingly days of anticipation, word was finally out when the announcement came in that the Virgin Virtual Airways Group would be the next award-winning airline to enter the fold.The Flying Tigers Group has launched a number of virtual airlines, representing a considerable and diverse opportunity to any pilot wishing to be a part of a truly international Group, with an airline and route to suit all tastes and requirements. Virgin Virtual Airways joins a stable already blessed with true thoroughbreds such as Cathay Pacific Airways, Singapore Airlines & JAL. There are even two heavyweights from Europe in Air France and Lufthansa, so why Virgin?The decision to launch Virgin Virtual Airways stems from the lack of any virtual counter-part to what is the second largest long-haul carrier based in the United Kingdom. Even though European carriers are represented in the Group, the interest in Virgin is apparently three fold, as Jonathan Turley, the CEO of Virgin Virtual Airways went on to explain.
