Virgin Atlantic Appoints Stephen Goulding as Country Manager to Spearhead Canadian Expansion

Virgin Atlantic has named Stephen Goulding as its new Country Manager for Canada, effective January 6, 2025, signaling a major step in the airline’s strategic expansion in North America. With the launch of a direct Toronto-London Heathrow route in March 2025, Goulding is poised to lead the airline’s growth and customer acquisition efforts in the Canadian market.

Goulding brings over 25 years of experience driving revenue and market expansion in travel, tourism, and technology. His tenure at WestJet Group Limited included record-breaking revenue growth, successful loyalty program enhancements, and strategic partnerships, notably with Delta Air Lines, Virgin Atlantic’s joint venture partner.

Expressing enthusiasm for his new role, Goulding stated, “I am thrilled to join Virgin Atlantic’s North American team and help expand the airline’s footprint in Canada. With support from our partners at Delta and WestJet, we aim to inspire Canadian travelers to explore London, India, and destinations worldwide.”

Simon Hawkins, Vice President of the Americas at Virgin Atlantic, echoed this sentiment: “Stephen’s expertise will be pivotal as we introduce our premium, personalized experience to Canadian travelers. His leadership will build excitement around our offerings and strengthen Virgin Atlantic’s presence in Canada.”
