Virgin Sun
-The Virgin Group's own tour operator, Virgin Holidays, was set up to fill seats on Virgin Atlantic flights. Because Virgin Holidays offers packages to European destinations, they had to rely on other airlines. Therefore, Virgin Sun was founded in 1998. New A320s, received directly from the production line, began operations on the 1st of May 1999, flying from London and Manchester. An A321 was added to the fleet for the 2000 summer season
-In November 2001, Virgin Sun was sold to Air 2000. The aircraft were not included in the deal and they were returned to their lessors. The G-VTAN, G-VKID and G-VMED were stored at Filton waiting for a new operator.
