Virgin launches first LGBTQ+ staffed flight ever!

The world's initially known flight completely staffed by LGBT+ individuals is expected for taking off from London Heathrow Airport in June 2019. 

The LGBT+ pilots and lodge group will take the irregular 'Pride Flight' to New York, or, in other words, American city to have the World Pride occasion one year from now, on June 28—the day stamping a long time since the start of the Stonewall riots. 

 

Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays collaborated with NYC and Company, New York City's legitimate promoting, tourism and association, to bring the Pride festivities to 38,000 feet over the ground.

They have enrolled Broadway performing artist and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Tituss Burgess to be the speaker amid the flight, which guarantees to highlight on-load up amusement including an on-load up DJ, drag ruler bingo, a Judy Garland singalong and between seat speed dating. 

"When we're seeing the privileges of minority bunches under risk, it could really compare to ever we stand up and make our voices heard," Burgess said. 

"The LGBT+ people group has made tremendous walks in the course of the most recent 50 years, and I'm so glad to join forces with Virgin Holidays and Virgin Atlantic to check this event in style and commend the hard-won opportunities from the individuals who preceded us," he said. 

Fred Dixon, president, and CEO of NYC and Company said the World Pride occasion is relied upon to draw in excess of three million guests to the Big Apple in 2019, and guarantees to be "one of the biggest LGBTQ occasions ever."
