Sindy Takes to the Skies

Virgin Atlantic has launched a Virgin Atlantic Cabin Crew Sindy Doll, which is available as part of it’s inflight retail product range from today.
Sindy, the UK’s favourite fashion doll, takes to the skies in her new role, complete with distinctive red uniform, stylish black suitcase and a red bikini, ready for the sunshine when she arrives at one of Virgin Atlantic’s nineteen destinations worldwide.


The Virgin Atlantic Cabin Crew Sindy will be available for Virgin Atlantic passengers inflight for £7.50 (VAT free) and will be exclusively available on the ground at Woolworths, where it will retail for £7.99.


Richard Branson, Chairman of Virgin Atlantic, commented:


“We are very pleased to introduce the Virgin Cabin Crew Sindy to our range of inflight retail products. I am sure Virgin Sindy will be a huge hit with the kids travelling with Virgin Atlantic and maybe spark their imagination to consider working for Virgin Atlantic in years to come!”
