After cutting back to just three routes last month amidst plummeting demand, Virgin Atlantic Airways announced it plans to suspend all passenger flights for a minimum of one week later this month.

Virgin “has made the decision to move most of its current scheduled services to cargo-only services from 20 April until 26 April,” it said in a statement to FBT.

The British carrier will continue to operate its three routes – London Heathrow to Los Angeles International Airport, Hong Kong International Airport, and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Other major airlines in the region including British Airways, EasyJet, and Ryanair have significantly scaled back operations as well.
