Virgin Atlantic<\/a> announced this week that it will suspend its service between Austin and London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR)<\/a> beginning in January 2024, delivering a rare bit of bad news for the otherwise-booming Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Virgin Atlantic’s London service will end Jan. 7. Passengers with tickets booked beyond that wind-down date will be offered refunds.<\/p>\n

The move comes as part of a larger schedule shake-up for the carrier, ending a route that has been in place for less than two years.<\/p>\n

In announcing the decision, Virgin Atlantic officials cited a “persistent softening in corporate demand, specifically the tech sector.”<\/p>\n
