Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Material uncertainty disclosed

“We draw attention to note 3 to the financial statements which indicates that the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the flight operations of the immediate parent Company Virgin Allantic Airways Limited. The financial statements of Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited include a material uncertainty related to going concern and therefore the continuation of the flight operations of that company may be in doubt in the going concern assessment period. These events and conditions, along with the other matters explained in note 3, constitute a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-12-31 vs 2024-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
