A computer glitch with Navitaire’s ‘NewSkies’ booking system threw the airline into turmoil for 11 days during September last year, with Virgin Blue check-in staff having to manually process passengers until a fix was found, resulting in multiple flight delays and cancellations at airports across Australia.
Virgin has estimated that the glitch cost it up to $20 million in pre-tax earnings for the first half of the current financial year.
