New directions

Virgin Blue is one of the world’s most successful airlines, growing from two leased 737-400s in August 2000 operating seven return Brisbane to Sydney flights a day to today’s fleet of 74 aircraft operating to 31 Australian and international destinations.

The team that created the airline that sank Ansett and forced Qantas to launch Jetstar is largely intact and are professional yet zany, innovative yet dedicated, and above all else, passionate.
