Virgin Atlantic says goodbye to Dubai as competition gets too fierce

Virgin Atlantic says goodbye to Dubai as competition gets too fierce:

Increasingly tough competition on London-Dubai flights pushed Virgin Atlantic out of the market, underscoring the dominance of Emirates on the prized route.
Having operated flights from Heathrow to Dubai for more than a decade, Virgin Atlantic said it was “no longer economically viable” to operate the route.
With Dubai’s flagship airline Emirates operating numerous daily flights to London’s Heathrow as well as serving six other UK airports, Virgin Atlantic was poorly positioned to compete, experts said.
