Virgin Australia might not return to long-haul flying
Interesting remark from Jayne Hrdlicka in this article, on the subject of international flying she said "whether we go back in with long-haul flying ourselves is an open question.”
So Virgin intends to do short-haul such as NZ, Bali and Fiji with its 737s but could skip establishing a new long-haul fleet for LAX and rely on partners like Delta. Makes sense if the recovery is going to be protracted and uncertain, why take the risk? Just focus on being a good domestic airline with a bit of short-haul too.
