Flight trackers recently spotted an unusual sight on the radar: a Virgin Airbus A350 touching down at London Stansted. The aircraft was operating a dedicated charter flight for the NFL.

Stansted is a rare diversion from the carrier's usual London bases. Even so, the flight followed a recognisable operational pattern, as the airline frequently relies on the same flight number whenever it handles charter services tied to the league.
