Virgin Atlantic sends a London taxi around New York to celebrate the launch of its fuel-efficient aircraft

Virgin Atlantic, the British airline company, has marked the launch of its “most fuel-efficient aircraft,” the A330neo, with a bright red London taxi that drove around New York. The taxi’s interior was designed to reflect the A330neo’s features, with built-in wireless charging pads and mood lighting to enhance the experience of passengers. 

In a 90-second film that was released, the taxi can be seen picking up passers-by and taking them on a personalised journey to Manhattan destinations, while the airline’s cabin crew gave them the Virgin Atlantic experience. The crew were also shown quizzing the passengers on Virgin Atlantic’s aircraft history, revealing that they were the pioneers for a lot of the common plane features that every airline has since adopted.  

Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Atlantic, also made an appearance in the film. Branson is well known for his commitment to environmental sustainability, and the launch of the A330neo is another step forward in his company’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. 

The taxi in New York showcases Virgin Atlantic’s dedication to offering a personalized experience. They go beyond just being an airline and provide a distinctive lifestyle brand to their customers.
