Virgin atlantic has recently announced plans to launch a direct weekly service between london gatwick and tobago continuing to grenada from may 2003. Virgin is also planning to launch a weekly sunday service from manchester to barbados st lucia and antigua.
my only question is that Br. Airways already do the gatwick-tobago-grenada route and JMC also does it. Do virgin expect there to be enough of a market to have a 3rd airline included and it will probably be done with a a340-600. have they gone mad, i dont think this will work.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-11-02 AT 12:20 PM (GMT)]If it makes trips to teh caribbean more affordable through cheaper fares, I’m sure there’ll be more people wanting to go… and as it’s only a weekly service, I don’t see it making that much difference…
