Virgin Atlantic has become the first UK airline to offer British Sign Language (BSL)-trained cabin crew on its flights, a major step towards making travel inclusive for all. 

To mark the International Week of Deaf People, which fell on September 23-29, 2024, the airline sent three D/deaf personalities on a flight from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Dulles International Airport (IAD) to test the service.

The three hearing-impaired personalities were Gladiators star Jodie Ounsley and twin content creators Hermon and Heroda Berhane.
