The goal of this airline company was to provide air transportation from London to the Falkland Islands. The duo met with legal opposition and financial problems in the early stages, even when their plan was to replace the Falkland Islands destination with JFK Airport. Fields later met Richard Branson where he proposed the idea of a partnership in exchange for financial backing. Branson's terms were eventually met and the airline was renamed to Virgin Atlantic, with Fields taking a reduced stake in the project. Fields was later bought out for a large sum and for free Upper Class flying privileges for his immediate family.
