Virgin Atlantic Airlines president Sir Richard Branson will interact with Indian students selected from a contest during his India visit later this month. The airline has invited students to ask their most burning questions to Branson and selected students will get to meet the business tycoon who will launch the London-Mumbai flight in October end.

Speaking on this initiative,  Branson said "India is key part of Virgin Atlantic's plans and I am looking forward to interact with young minds of this amazing country.' Virgin had operated London-Mumbai flights between 2005 and 2009 but suspended the flight due to losses. Currently, the airline has a daily flight between Delhi-London.
