The info I have received is that Virgin is moving into Ansett terminals nationwide with an anouncement due very soon. Virgin will be sharing with Ansett by way of renting space.

It is my belief that Sydney Airport wanted this and this was the pre condition for Tesna getting the lease. . .Virgin wanted their Sydney terminal expanded by SACL but SACL were holding out. Why spend money on Virgin's terminal when there is plenty of room down the road.. .Tesna was forced into this by SACL, thats why Fox and Lew rolled up in London to see RB. They did not and still do not want Virgin in the AN terminals but have no choice.. .Not sure about any commercial arrangement between the parties. Fox and Lew would be better off offering RB $400 mil for VB and then walk into unused terminals with a profitable airline.. .Does any one else agree this makes better business sense.
