Branson re-launches Virgin's Mumbai-London flights in style

Even as the future looks uncertain for Vijay Mallya and his debt-laden Kingfisher Airlines, Richard Branson, Virgin Atlantic's flamboyant President, re-launched his airline's Mumbai-London flight on October 28.

Virgin has recommenced its India operations after a three-year gap.

Branson is renowned for launching his ventures in an unorthodox fashion. So, it was expected that the press event to announce the renewal of the Mumbai-London flights would be unusual. Indeed, he did not disappoint, as these pictures will show.
