Virgin Atlantic Now Giving Passengers In-Flight News Updates

Virgin Atlantic is providing passengers with live text news throughout their flight. The service will give passengers up to date news stories, as they happen, straight to their seat back TV.

Sky News, the award winning broadcaster, will be the provider of the news content, which will include breaking news, business news, sports news and match results, celebrity gossip and weather information.

This latest innovation ensures passengers are kept more up to date with breaking news on both their outbound and inbound journey and reflects the trend for instant information that is relevant on the ground.

The live text news service will be available on all V Port equipped aircraft. All Virgin Atlantic aircraft are fitted with personal seat back TV’s for every passenger.

V Port, the latest in in-flight entertainment, has over 300 hours of Video and Audio on demand which allows passengers to stop, start, fast forward and rewind all the action.
