Er, didn’t
all the shareholders get wiped out in the collapse and subsequent sale of Virgin to Bain and Co? No more SIA, HNA, Nanshan, Etihad or Virgin Group shares? Are we to believe that through the carnage, that VAI, the plucky majority Australian owned entity within Virgin survived, even though all the 777’s and A330’s were repossessed?
If VAI rise like a phoenix from the ashes as a majority Australian owned company while all around it get wiped out it would be a curious turn of events indeed. Especially since it no longer has any aircraft, AOC, or pilots to speak of.
Maybe the emperor has clothes after all, and a company that went broke, went through a fire sale and was 100% purchased by Americans is Australian after all.
