Virgin flight from London to New York gets an unexpected Hebrew twist

“To be fair the whole video was very trippy without even the subtitles,” said one passenger, referencing the animated style of the quirky safety demonstration.

It remains unclear whether the mix-up was due to a technical error or human oversight.

Virgin Atlantic has been contacted for comment.

In 2018, the British airline founded by Sir Richard Branson appointed Jerusalem-born, former IDF tank commander Shai Weiss as chief executive officer.

Weiss – who describes himself as a secular Israeli but has British citizenship – has urged Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government to agree to a peace deal to end the war in Gaza.

Weiss joined the board of Virgin Atlantic in 2012 and was head of the company’s commercial and finance divisions before becoming chief executive in 2019.

Before Virgin, he worked at telecoms provider NTL Telewest and Morgan Stanley.
