It includes 600 million pounds of support from the airlines owners, Virgin Group and Delta Airlines, 450 million pounds of deferred payments to creditors and 170 million pounds of financing from U.S.-based Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP. Delta invested $360 million in Virgin Atlantic in December 2012, acquiring a 49% stake in the airline.
