Richard Branson said his Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. brand is “not going anywhere” after Singapore Airlines Ltd. revealed last week that it was in talks to sell its 49 percent holding in the U.K. carrier.
Reports that Branson is about to give up control of Virgin Atlantic and comments from International Consolidated Airlines Group suggesting the brand may disappear are “wishful thinking and totally misguided,” the billionaire said on his blog.
