Government Loan to Virgin Australia
Perth making sure Deloitte isn't forgetting them
Dramatic twist in the collapse of Virgin Australia as bulldozers and trucks are used to block planes from taking off until their debts are repaid

Ed Bastian the head of Delta and the 49% owner of Virgin Atlantic has turned down a request by Virgin Atlantic for a capital injection. He went on to say he expects Virgin Atlantic to be placed under administration shortly. As Richard Branson is loathed by the establishment in the U.K Virgin Atlantic may find it difficult to raise funds in their own name.
Perth Airport website shows the long term aircraft storage parking cost is $473.425 per day. For 3 a/c this is over $43,460 per month. The total cost for the fleet would be considerable.

"Four planes are being blocked by airport vehicles to stop a towbar from being attached to them." Nothing at all stopping Virgin hooking one of those you-beaut remote controlled towbars on the main gear though...

iflylofd,
There is a difference, QF is in a legal Dispute with PER Airport, and quite possibly could manage to the make good the disputed ammount should a judgement direct, whereas VA is looking less likely by the day to pay any outstanding debt whatsoever.
Don’t blame PER Airport Admin, blame the VA Management of past. 😢

They use the planet resources to have a healthy life so should we. Sorry getting angry frustrated back to saving an airline which we will.

I hope Perth airport desists by Anzac day morning. Their behaviour is the type that brings on a bankruptcy. It also suggests QF dirty tricks to me. If Virgin were flying to Perth, they won’t from now on.
A silly move by Perth Airport.
Let's say I own an airline (I'm not that stupid) and I want to fly to Perth, but I've seen Perth airport do something stupid with a JCB to another airline's airplane for reasons best known to themselves.
I'd be saying stuff this, they can obviously do without me.

’hey Perth airport, it’s Alan. Good thanks. Hey can you go and park some stuff around some VA planes that they aren’t using? Yes yes I know we’ve been in court for years over unpaid fees, all good though, just go and block a few unused aircraft for me will ya? BTW I’m just going to release a statement saying what a bunch of knobs you are too OK?’
I have no evidence for my assertion about QF dirty tricks. However the action is stupid on Four levels.
1. The aircraft are not required by Virgin ATM. The aircraft can sit and rot for all the administration cares. They are also blocking at least one gate. I would imagine terminal access is also closed.
2. Perth Airport is not going to improve its position as a creditor by this action. The aircraft are probably not owned by the airline so blackmailing is unlikely to succeed.
3. Virgin may not provide further services to WA as a result.
4. The action sends a powerful signal to the general public that Perth Airport does not expect Virgin to survive.
Why would anyone do something so stupid? My guess is they got a “confidential” tip that VB was going under. Who would say such a thing? Who benefits?
