Virgin Atlantic will roster a B787-9 between London Heathrow and Chicago in summer 2016.
From April 27 next year, the Dreamliner will replace the A330-300/A340-600 that are operating the daily service this summer, reports airlineroute.net.
Outbound flight VS039 will depart Heathrow at 0945 and land at Chicago O'Hare at 1230, with return flight VS040 leaving Chicago at 1755 and arriving in London at 0755 the next day.
Virgin Atlantic will add a B787-9 on to its daily London Heathrow to Hong Kong service in July (see news, March 3).
