Virgin can't do international flights using Virgin branding full stop due to Singapore airlines buying into Virgin Atlantic, hence the start-up of Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue, so unless they operate them under those names it won't be Virgin pushing into these routes.
Good to see them finally coming into WA, with the intra state review winding up and the new way forward announced soon I'm sure there are some 'high flyers' working for the home town hero's who will be having some sleepless nights
..... Even with some recent mining contract wins, Virgin coming to town and their protected routes being thrown open to some competition will see their yields on those routes slashed and burned!! Just like the plans to introduce the A320's.......
Who wants to start the bidding to see how long it will take them to start going back to these clients crying poor and needing a rate rise.
