Virgin suspends Manchester–Las Vegas route for 2027
Virgin Atlantic will suspend its seasonal Manchester–Las Vegas route for summer 2027, citing changing demand. It will increase service from Manchester to New York JFK from daily to 10 flights a week, operate up to 19 weekly flights to Orlando in July and August, and raise Atlanta service to 11 flights a week for part of the summer, with larger aircraft also planned. The airline will base a fifth aircraft at Manchester during peak summer and says passengers booked to Las Vegas can discuss alternative flights or a refund. Las Vegas will remain reachable from Manchester via connections through JFK or Atlanta with Delta, or on Virgin Atlantic’s daily Heathrow service.
