“I am incredibly excited to take on this new challenge at Virgin Atlantic Cargo,” Wardlaw said. “The team is absolutely fantastic and has played a pivotal role in the airline’s survival following the emergence of Covid-19.
“From operating cargo only flying for the first time ever, launching new cargo destinations and transporting vital PPE and equipment for the NHS, the list of milestones goes on.
“November 2021 was the cargo team’s best-ever trading month and I look forward to helping to build on this to achieve future success.”
Kennedy, meanwhile, will become senior vice president of revenue management, distribution and holidays role at the airline in January 2022.
