London-based Virgin Atlantic Airlines, which last month added a third nonstop round trip between London's Gatwick International Airport and Las Vegas, will add a fourth next spring, the company said today.

When the new Wednesday flight is added March 17, Virgin will offer trips on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

The airline offers flights on 390-passenger four-engine Boeing 747 jumbo jets.

So far in 2003, Virgin has flown 70,000 passengers between London and Las Vegas, a 7 percent increase over the number of passengers flown in the first nine months of 2002.
