[ March 19, 2012   //   Chris ]

Virgin Atlantic is continuing its tradition of catering to Hollywood celebrities but now the airline’s Cargo department is taking a hand.
Uggie, the 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and star of the Oscar-winning silent movie, The Artist, climbed aboard a Virgin Atlantic plane in LA for a flying visit to London for a round of TV appearances including The Graham Norton Show, BBC News, Channel 5 News, Blue Peter and Newsround to name a few.
Since 2003, when Virgin Atlantic was the first airline to fly pets directly from the US to Heathrow under the Pet Travel Scheme, their dedicated team has successful managed the travel arrangements for over 14,000 dogs and cats to and from destinations across their international network, including the United States, Dubai, Hong Kong, South Africa, the Caribbean and Australia.
