Virgin Atlantic Little Red (also referred to as Virgin Little Red and Little Red) was a short-lived British domestic airline subsidiary owned by Virgin Atlantic.
It was created in 2012 as a way to provide competition for aviation giant[1] British Airways (BA) on UK domestic mainland flights to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Manchester from London Heathrow Airport. During its operation, the airline operated four Airbus A320s wet leased from Irish airline Aer Lingus and served a network of four domestic destinations. The airline ceased operations in 2015 following low passenger numbers.
