We’ve started to collate photos and video from the big US reopening event.
British Airways shared this video from the Heathrow control tower of the dual take-off of the British Airways and Virgin Atlantic flights to New York this morning. This is to celebrate the reopening of the US to visitors travelling from the UK.
If you look at the Instagram story that Rhys posted earlier, you can see that Heathrow airspace was closed to allow this to happen. The main reason was that a helicopter was flying around the airport to get shots of the take-off which were broadcast live on Sky News.
British Airways has only shared one photo so far. The Virgin Atlantic aircraft is the tiny one in the background …

He’s also been testing out The Loft social area on the Virgin Atlantic A350 for your benefit:
Looks like a good time was had by all ….
