Employer Description:
Virgin Atlantic took off in 1984 when Richard Branson set out to shake up the aviation industry—and we’ve been doing things differently ever since. What began with a single 747, one route, and a small but mighty team has grown into an international airline with a global network and thousands of passionate people behind it. But our story has never just been about planes—it’s about people. From the very beginning, we’ve believed that travel should feel exciting, personal, and filled with possibility. That belief still drives us today as we work towards our mission: to become the most loved travel company. Whether we’re designing innovative customer experiences, pushing boundaries in sustainability, or building inclusive teams that reflect the world we serve, we’re united by a shared spirit of adventure, heart, and humanity. Because at Virgin Atlantic, we don’t just fly people from A to B—we help them take off in every sense. We’re not just your average airline. When it comes to our people, they’re a passionate lot, united in creating something different. It’s always been like this. It’s in our DNA, and it was ignited within us from the moment we started flying.
