About Virgin Atlantic Airways
<b>Virgin Atlantic Airways - Airlines; photo wallpapers; megawallpapers.org :</b> Virgin Atlantic Airways usually referred to as Virgin Atlantic, is one of the airlines of Richard Branson's Virgin Group, operating long-haul routes between London and North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Its main bases are London Heathrow (LHR) and London Gatwick (LGW), with a smaller base at Manchester International Airport (MAN). The company holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence, it is permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats. Virgin Atlantic's story began in 1982 when Randolph Fields, an
American-born lawyer, set up British Atlantic Airways as a direct
successor to Laker Airways. However, in order to obtain regulatory approval, Fields needed further financial backing. He met Richard Branson
at a "high society" party in central London during which he proposed a

airline off the ground. After protracted and testy negotiations, Fields
agreed to a reduced stake of 25% in the now renamed airline and became
Virgin Atlantic's first chairman. Following a series of disagreements
over operational issues, Fields agreed to be bought out for an initial
sum of £1 million with further payment due upon Virgin's first dividend
payment. Following a High Court action, such additional payment was
received shortly before Fields' death from cancer in 1997. Fields also
obtained lifetime Upper Class flying privileges for his immediate
family and his mother, one of British Atlantic's early backers. On June 22, 1984 Virgin Atlantic operated its inaugural scheduled air service between London Gatwick Airport and Newark using a single, leased Boeing 747-200, formerly operated by Aerolineas Argentina.
