And now we are descending into yet another argument about Ansett!!
I for one hope that Rex AND Virgin survive. The industry will be better for it. Isn’t it about time we can squeeze in a 3rd jet airline? The population then VS now sure says the market is much bigger!!
Well they had multiple goes at it. Compass, Impulse, Ansett Mk2, Tiger Airways, Tigerair, Virgin Mk 2 (Australia).
Only 3rd airline that actually had a go at it is Virgin Mk 1 (Blue), which unfortunately morphed into the unprofitable Virgin Mk 2 (Australia) once Borghetti and the Singaporean/Abu Dhabi mob took over.
