Virgin Atlantic voted best business class airline
Virgin Atlantic won two of the top categories at the Business Traveller Awards 2006. The airline won the Best Business Class and Best Premium Economy awards. Steve Ridgway, Chief Executive, Virgin Atlantic, commented, “We are delighted that Business Traveller readers have recognised Virgin Atlantic in this way. These awards show that Virgin Atlantic’s innovative products, in Upper Class and Premium Economy, are the clear favourites for long-haul travellers.”

Virgin Atlantic was the first airline to come up with the concept of a premium economy class. It was first introduced in 1992 and has been imitated by our competitors in recent years. Passengers travelling in Premium Economy benefit from the biggest seat in its class on selected aircraft, a 38” seat pitch, dedicated check in and cabin, priority meal service and priority baggage reclaim.
