  • Airline plans to return to Toronto, Canada, its first Canadian route in a decade

Virgin Atlantic has announced new flying from London Heathrow by adding Toronto, Canada’s largest city to its network for summer 2025.

The move represents a expansion in North America.  The airline’s first route to the country in more than a decade will commence on 30th March 2025, with direct flights between London Heathrow and Toronto Pearson International Airport, marking the airline’s expansion in North America and into Canada’s financial hub.

The new service will operate on a mix of aircraft including the A330neo, providing optimal connectivity for customers traveling to India via London, from newly launched destination Bengaluru, alongside Mumbai and Delhi, which both operate twice daily.  The Toronto route is operated as part of our joint venture with Air France, Delta and KLM, and in partnership with Canadian airline, Westjet.

Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer, Virgin Atlantic, commented: “we see huge opportunities to connect friends, relatives and businesses with our new service. We’re also delighted to build on our codeshare with SkyTeam partner WestJet, further strengthening connectivity in the region, and beyond, and bringing new benefits to our loyal customers. We look forward to launching this new route in 2025, introducing the iconic, inclusive Virgin Atlantic brand, award-winning experience and our amazing people to new customers in Canada.”
