Bond takes to the skies with Virgin Atlantic
February 5, 2008Virgin Atlantic is to welcome back James Bond as the airline has announced it will launch a series of promotional and marketing initiatives connected with the new film Quantum of Solace, starring Daniel Craig as 007.
Set for release on November 7 it rekindles an alliance between Virgin Atlantic and James Bond first seen in Casino Royale, when Daniel Craig made his first appearance as 007.
The film became the most successful in the James Bond franchise, with record-breaking box office sales.
Sir Richard Branson said: "Virgin Atlantic and James Bond make a great partnership – slick, smooth and renowned the world over. Casino Royale propelled Bond to greater success and we’re certain that Quantum of Solace will set an even higher standard."
Scenes from Casino Royale featuring Sir Richard and Virgin Atlantic were unceremoniously cut from versions of the film broadcast by British Airways on board its flights, the flag carrier has not said if it will do the same to the latest Bond epic.
