Virgin Atlantic extend routing in 2007 to Nairobi
Sir Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Atlantic, commented:
“I am delighted
that we are able to launch another new route in 2007, enabling us to offer
passengers with more choice and a larger route network. Nairobi is Virgin
Atlantic’s fourth service to the African continent and it is expanding
at a vast rate. Passenger numbers have doubled over the past five years
and we predict its popularity will continue to grow in the years to come."
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Kenya Tourist Board for helping Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays to achieve its goal of starting operations to Nairobi and we look forward to working with them closely in the next few years to promote travel to the region.”
