The gin is made available to them on the menu for transpacific flights, while Speedbird cafe will make it available to short-distance travelers for $8. International Brand Director of Aviation American Gin, Gareth Williams, assured customers of a refreshing experience through this drink, regardless of the time frame of their journey. The gin that is also available on Virgin Atlantic flights would add an American Twist to the experience of British Airways. Meanwhile, the brand already started rooting in the airway industry by entering the British Airway as well as the JFK airports lounge.
