Airline giant Virgin Atlantic has announced the creation of 450 new jobs.<\/p>\n

Many of the new jobs, which include 350 cabin staff and 50 pilots, will be based at Gatwick airport.<\/p>\n

The Crawley-based airline said it was creating a new route between Manchester and Las Vegas, and increasing London departures to the Caribbean and Ghana.<\/p>\n

It will also introduce a new fleet of 10 Airbus A330 aircraft over the next two years, with the first two entering service in the next two months. <\/p>\n

Corneel Koster, director of operations, safety and security for Virgin Atlantic, said: “We have enjoyed a good year of recovery and can now look forward to expanding our network and welcoming a new fleet of aircraft.”<\/p>\n

The airline said the bulk of the new cabin crew roles had been created to support the additional weekly flights from London to Ghana, Tobago, Grenada and Havana.<\/p>\n

The launch of the new Manchester to Las Vegas route will create 100 crew jobs in the Manchester area.<\/p>\n

The recruitment drive is in addition to the 200 jobs that Virgin Atlantic announced in November for its new contact centre in Swansea.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
