SAN JUAN — Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. has signed a deal to start running direct flights between London and Puerto Rico next year.

Puerto Rico tourism director Terestella Gonzalez says the weekly flights will generate about $30 million a year in tourism revenue for the island.

Gonzalez told local radio Tuesday that each flight will reserve 80 percent of its 240 seats for visitors who are also booked on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

The first flight is expected to depart London in November 2009.
