BARBADOS’ WINTER SEASON is shaping up to be a good one, if bookings to date on Virgin Atlantic Airways are anything to go by.

Nick Parker, outgoing Caribbean head of Virgin, said the airline’s bookings for the coming winter season were showing an increase.

Not only that, but passenger load projections for the winter were ahead of last season’s “and very positive”.
