Virgin Australia were effectively trading insolvent for more than a decade. Bailout money from their foreign owners saved them, but let’s just say… “Safety” wasn’t really their main concern…
And having flown on them since they collapsed and were bought out, mid-pandemic..? Let’s just say I don’t think the airline is long for this world, lol…
But they’ll limp on for a while, because letting them fail would be a disaster for competition in this country.
Admittedly, “Virgin” is just a brand. But I’m fairly confident that Atlantic operates fairly similarly, if with more of an… “International” bent, lol.
Have you flown on any of the Virgin Group airlines recently (particularly in Aus)..??
It hasn’t been anywhere near their top priority for the best part of a decade…
That’s not exactly news.
I have not no. Guess I haven't missed much.
