Why should this airline be added?
Virgin Sun was a British charter airline founded in 1999, that focused its destinations on the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands. It had a style never before done of conducting a ‘fun’ meal service, with meals being different depending on the time of day and if you were going or returning from the UK, plus they provided a cocktail when you go on board as well as offering a desert service. The airline flew from London Gatwick and Manchester for the 2 years it was in operation but sadly it didn’t hit the required targets for profit and the project was canned by Virgin group in late 2001. It could make for either a good event livery due to the bright yellow paint they used or, my personal preference, a fab regular airline for MAN and LGW to players European airports.
Though hopefully Manchester gets added one day.
