Ansett administrators clear the way for Virgin Blue
The administrators of Ansett have formally released the former airline's facilities at Adelaide Airport, paving the way for Virgin Blue to move in within two months.
Virgin Blue has already signed a 16-year agreement to takeover Ansett's former terminal facilities in Brisbane.
John McArdle, the Corporate Affairs Manager of Adelaide Airport, says Ansett's administrators released the facilities at Adelaide Airport last Sunday.
"We're embarking on an upgrade program to clean it up and tidy it up a bit and then Virgin will be moving into that part of the domestic terminal which will then release additional space to do some necessary upgrades of the international terminal while we'll build a new one."
