  • Etihad Airways pulls the plug on Virgin Australia partnership

    Nov 18, 2024, 07:32 PM

    While the Etihad partnership is an obvious loser in the Qatar/Virgin deal. As they're a direct competitor that I don't think the ACCC will be too fussed about. I think they will be more concerned about the lose of Sia and South African airways as a partner. It also effectively rules out the ...

  • Qatar Airways to take 25% stake in Virgin Australia

    I guess this puts the Etihad partnership in the bin.

  • Hawaiian Airlines exec on 787s and joining Oneworld

    I'm interested if they keep partnership with VIrgin if they do join Oneworld. Same as Qatar have. And a few other instances around the world have done of multi airline partnerships between 2 competitors in some regions.

  • Qantas rolls out massive change for frequent flyer points

    Any sane person does what we did when my father passed. We logged into to his account and did a family transfer.

  • BONZA gone belly up - Opportunity for REX

    Apr 30, 2024, 01:30 PM

    I'd expect Virgin would be more likely to grab those planes and crew than Rex. They would use them on their existing routes though. As evidenced by their Adelaide - Bali route being suspended due to not enough available capacity.

    Not going to happen.

  • VA potentially partnering with Sri Lankan Airlines?

    Oct 01, 2023, 12:08 AM

    https://bnn.network/world/australia/srilankan-expands-operations-to-australia-with-virgin/ This news is popping up in numerous sites in the past few days. It doesn't appear to be confirmed as VA themselves haven't published anything though, but if it is happening and is just in the negotiation ph...

  • Android app disappeared?

    Aug 04, 2023, 09:03 PM

    Hi, Probably last year sometime I downloaded the Executive Traveller app on Android which has worked great to be able to see new posts etc...I found that it's dissapeared from the store now though. Will this be returning or is it back to the website only?Thanks.
