Virgin Atlantic has announced that three new routes will be added to its network from London-Heathrow Airport (LHR) with all new services due to commence ahead of the northern summer season 2025.  

The trio of added destinations will see the airline serve Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time, as well as a return to Accra in Ghana and Toronto in Canada, both of which have previously been served and subsequently dropped by the carrier in the past. 

For the first time in the British airline’s 40-year history, the carrier will launch a daily service to King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The move into this market fits with the Kingdom’s ambitious growth plans for business and tourism in the coming years under the guise of its Saudi Vision 203 program. This includes the construction of several new airports and establishing a second national carrier in the form of Riyadh Air.
