Mission We are on a journey to become the most-loved travel company that delivers amazing experiences. We bring results through experiences and partnerships. But being Virgin means more than just results. Being Virgin is about how we get them, and the values we place at the core of our journey will help us thread love through every move we make.
Description Virgin Atlantic began in 1984 with one aircraft, one route, and a clear intention, to make flying feel different. Less routine, more considered. Less about getting there, more about how it feels along the way.
We’ve grown into a global, premium longhaul airline, connecting the UK to destinations across North America, the Caribbean, Africa and beyond. But growth, for us, has never been about size alone. It’s about raising the bar, in service, in design, and in the small details our customers notice and remember.
That same thinking shapes what it’s like to work here. We’re a business built on people who care about doing things properly, and doing them with personality. Whether you’re part of our cabin crew, engineering teams, head office or airport operations, you’re trusted to bring your judgement, your ideas, and your individuality to the role.
Our customers travel for all sorts of reasons, business, rest, big moments, fresh starts. What they have in common is an expectation that their journey should feel considered, not standard. Meeting that expectation takes more than process. It takes people who are switched on, collaborative, and quietly determined to make things better, even when no one’s asking.
Our purpose is to help everyone take on the world. For you, that might mean building a career that stretches you, working with people who back you, or being part of a company that’s always looking for a better way to do things.
So what makes Virgin Atlantic different as an employer? It’s a mix of high standards and human touches. You’re given room to grow, encouraged to challenge how things are done, and supported to develop in ways that matter to you. It’s a place for people who take pride in their work, but don’t feel the need to shout about it.
Join us, and you’re not just part of the journey. You help define it.
