“New Delhi, served by daily flights, has been one of Virgin Atlantic Cargo’s top performing routes over the last 12 years, while India is forecast to continue to grow at a faster annual rate than other traditional cargo markets,” the airline said in a statement.
Virgin served Mumbai from 2005 from 2009.
“The air cargo market in India is already very strong for us through New Delhi and with Mumbai’s buoyant commercial centre and industrial infrastructure we expect to easily fill our capacity with cargo connecting to and from points across the Virgin network,” said John Lloyd, director of cargo at Virgin Atlantic.
