LONDON (Reuters) – The chief executive of Virgin Atlantic said the airline expected its revenue this year to exceed 2019 even though it would fly 20% less capacity, but 2023 would be “tough”.
“It’s been a very robust year, we’ve exceeded our plans,” Shai Weiss told an industry conference on Monday.
“It’s going to be a tough 2023. We need of course the price of energy to come down and people’s lives to be a bit better with inflation tamed.”
