end of Hong Kong - Sydney service
no surprise there then but what i do not know is the reasons as to why no agreements to code-share VS with Virgin Australia (Voz) were ever implemented...
you have two airlines set up by the same guy and he does not want them to mix and match? then after fighting for years for the right to fly LON-SYD he walks away...
its boggling that VS DAILY flies to DXB, HKG, LAX, SFO and JNB but Voz has not made any attempts seemingly to want fly the London pax onto Australia
Voz could have op'd these routes to meet the VS a/c coming in/out from LHR
DXB-PER SYD MEL
JNB-PER
HGK-SYD MEL BNE
LAX/SFO-MEL SYD BNE
they could have marketed a round the world service as well
instead Virgin Oz flies standalone alone from LAX and SFO to Oz
THEN teams up with Etihad via AUH as has Qantas teams up with Emirates via DXB
bizarre!
