Not overly convinced the others are there for the airline’s prospering future interests.
It remains to be seen how Virgin would fit into Bill’s lineup of Spirit, Frontier, Wizz. Would be the first full service venture.
I think Indigo would be the best option for Virgin when taking into account long term survival. I guess we will find out in the next few days.
Bill was after a local partner also. I wonder if Local means Singapore.
Indigo will eventually convert/revert VA (back) into another LCC. Indigo are not in the business of operating FSCs and will want to allocate those 500+ A320Neos across their group, including VA if they are successful.
The J seats might be used similarly to Spirit's "Big Front Seat" style service in the interim, where they'll basically are just paying for the seat.
Indigo may operate the 737s in the short term, but eventually those neos will be replacing VA's 737s.
