NY, NY. May 19, 2025 — The Royal Oak Foundation is thrilled to announce its new partnership with Virgin Atlantic, naming the esteemed airline as the Foundation’s official airline partner. The collaboration between Royal Oak and Virgin Atlantic highlights a shared dedication to inspiring travel between the US and UK and strengthening transatlantic connections.
Founded over 50 years ago as the American membership affiliate of the National Trust of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Royal Oak has raised over $20M for important historical sites in Britain including Churchill’s home at Chartwell, Mount Stewart, and the Bath Assembly Rooms, as well as world-renowned gardens such as Sissinghurst, Stowe, and Fountains Abbey amongst many others.
Beyond individual member travel, many Royal Oak supporters participate in bespoke tours designed by Royal Oak specifically with their interests in mind. These tours offer Royal Oak members exclusive, private visits to places such as Knole and Chatsworth.
The new partnership will see Virgin Atlantic support Royal Oak’s fundraising efforts in the United States, while Royal Oak will promote Virgin Atlantic as the airline of choice to over 12,000 households.
Ian Murray, Executive Director, said:
‘We are excited to partner with Virgin Atlantic as our Official Airline Partner. As the American membership affiliate of the National Trust of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, our members travel frequently to the UK to visit National Trust sites. Virgin Atlantic’s regular service from major cities across the United States to London and Manchester strongly aligns with The Royal Oak Foundation’s mission to support the National Trust.”
Tom Harrison, Head of Sales, Americas, Virgin Atlantic said:
“Our partnership with Royal Oak will ensure more US travelers have the opportunity to enjoy the best of the UK. At Virgin Atlantic we aim to deliver a premium, personalized experience to our customers at every step of the journey, and alongside our partners at Royal Oak, our customers will enjoy a memorable experience as they explore all the UK has to offer.”
