Virgin Australia 2.0 nach Insolvenz

• reine Boeing 737 Flotte
• 3000 Stellen bleiben gestrichen
• keine internationale Flotte für mehrere Jahre, danach potenziell 787
• Ansiedlung als "Value Airline", soll heißen eher Richtung Premium Qantas als low-cost
• Tiger Air ist geschichte

Key points:
• Plan for a stronger, more profitable and competitive Virgin Australia coming out of voluntary administration
• Focus on delivering exceptional experiences at great value with Virgin Australia’s core domestic and short-haul international business
• Virgin Australia to provide customers with the value of travel credits post administration with validity dates extended for bookings made prior to administration
• Resetting Virgin Australia to meet lower global and Australian demand, including:

- Reduction in cost base to meet sector uncertainty and COVID-19 market conditions
- Securing approximately 6,000 jobs when the market recovers with 3,000 roles impacted
- Simplified all-Boeing 737 mainline fleet and the retention of the regional and charter fleet, but removing ATR, Boeing 777, Airbus A330 and Tigerair Airbus A320 aircraft types.
- Long-haul international flying important part of plan but suspended until global travel market recovers
- Tigerair Australia brand discontinued with Air Operator Certificate (AOC) retained to provide option for ultra-low-cost operations when market recovers.
- Continued commitment to regional and charter flying.
