Virgin Atlantic Set to Reduce Winter Flights to New York’s JFK

Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd pared back its winter flight schedule from London to New York and Seattle, while adding capacity to other US destinations as trade frictions muddle the demand outlook for transatlantic air travel.

Starting in late October, the UK airline now plans four flights a day instead of five from its London Heathrow base to New York’s John F. Kennedy International airport, it said Tuesday in an emailed statement. Flights to Seattle will be lowered to four per week from seven.
