It's British. It's brash. It's Branson's. Virgin Atlantic Airways is part of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group, a conglomerate of more than 200 media, travel, and entertainment businesses created by the entrepreneurial wunderkind. The long-haul airline tries to make flying fun, providing such amenities as reclining sleeper seats and a stand-up bar. Virgin Atlantic offers its 3 million-plus passengers per year an alternative to market leader British Airways. The airline's 34-plane fleet and code-sharing agreements enable it to fly to more than 30 destinations in Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, India, South Africa, and North America. Virgin Group owns 51% of the airline, and Singapore Airlines owns a 49% stake.
