“Mackay is an extremely important market for Virgin Australia,” Martin Daley, Virgin’s chief of product and guest services, said in a statement. “Not only is it the gateway to some of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef, it is also has a strong mining industry, which attracts corporate and government travellers.”
The 260 square metre lounge includes business facilities, a private meeting room and high definition televisions and can accommodate 70 guests. Virgin is set to launch business class services on the Brisbane-Mackay route from January 18.
