The book tells the story of the rise of Virgin Airways, which within six years of launch grew massively to threaten British Airways\u2019 dominance over the industry.<\/p>\n
The blurb for the book says: \u201cRichard Branson\u2019s Virgin Atlantic was valued at over \u00a31.2 billion when he sold a 49% stake to Singapore Airlines in 1999. This was an extraordinary achievement for an airline that began life in 1984 with one plane. Virgin Atlantic became one of the world\u2019s top airlines only after surviving an incredible dirty tricks campaign by British Airways.\u201d<\/p>\n
