And it isn't just airlines. Aerospace firms, airports and groundhandling companies are also being forced to cut back. Virgin finds itself more exposed than many of its rivals, because it relies heavily on transatlantic traffic - and restrictions on travel to the US remain in force. But to succeed, it still needs to turn itself into a much smaller business than it was just a few months ago.
The pandemic has had a severe impact on the aviation industry as lockdowns and quarantines hit air travel. Airlines, airports and tour firms have collectively shed thousands of jobs. Virgin gained approval for its rescue plan from UK and US courts this week. Virgin Atlantic chief executive Shai Weiss said: "Together, we have achieved what many thought impossible and that is down to the efforts and sacrifices of so many across the company.

I have been honoured to work with all of you over the last five decades building companies and creating competition and choice for consumers across a whole range of industries. Our companies have created hundreds of thousands of jobs and paid hundreds of millions in tax around the world and will continue to do so. Our companies based in the UK pay tax in the UK, and so forth. As you know, creating positive social and environmental impact has always been at the heart of this brand.
Starting some 50 years ago with Student Magazine, the non-profits Student Advisory Centre, Mates Condoms and so many other wonderful initiatives that the Virgin family have created over the years.
The majority of my time is now spent on philanthropic efforts with Virgin Unite, our non-profit foundation that so many of you have helped to build over the past 15 years. I cover all of its overheads, ensuring per cent of all donations received go directly to where it is needed most, from health to human rights to tackling the climate crisis.
In addition, per cent of all the money I make from speaking engagements, plus further donations made from Virgin Group, goes directly to Virgin Unite.
This amounts to many millions per year, and I will continue to raise and donate as much as possible for charity in the years to come. In the midst of this crisis, our Virgin companies are continuing to do what we do best: support each other, support our communities, and tackle tough problems through hard work and innovation. For instance, the Virgin Orbit team and partners have designed and developed new mass producible ventilators , while Virgin Galactic and partners have designed and developed oxygen hoods , and Virgin Unite has donated millions to support community health workers on the ground in Africa.
Another huge thank you to all of the other key workers across the Group who are working on the frontline to help serve our communities and support their teams — you are all heroes. When this crisis passes, as it eventually will, the world will be very different to the one we are used to. I know we will come out stronger and kinder to each other as a result.
Thanks so much once again to all of you, you continue to inspire me every day. Home Companies About Us. Book a Branson. An open letter to Virgin employees. Image by Jack Brockway. Richard Branson. Published on 19 April To all the Virgin family, For 50 years I have been humbled by the incredible pride our people take in working for Virgin.
