Virgin Atlantic has transported around 1m passengers between London and Delhi over the past ten years, with a further 140,000 expected this year.
Michael Burke, the airline's country manager for India, said: 'We are delighted to be celebrating Virgin Atlantic's tenth anniversary of flying between London and Delhi.
