Sir Richard Branson looks at space travel, but he doesn’t forget the more commercial ones, at least for now. So much so that he would be thinking of listing Virgin Atlantic, the British airline that controls 51% (the rest is Delta Air Line), on the London stock exchange. The landing could take place in the fall, according to Sky News and the Financial Times. Branson would have received the green light from institutional investors.
The company, like others, has suffered the blow of the pandemic, recording a loss of 914 million dollars in 2020, with an 80% drop in passengers.
