V Australia

Postby Mitch. » Thu Aug 23, 2007 3:55 am

Virgin Blue is a low cost carrier in Australia and with its run away success its now creating its own international airline dubbed 'V Australia'. The aircraft selected by V Australia is the Boeing 777-300ER but was close between that and the Airbus A340-500. Routes mainly across the pacific to the US starting in late 2008 in direct competition with Qantas! Will it be a success? What do you think?

In order to spend more money on fuel?  Definately.   ;) ;) ;)

That livery sucks.  They have that great Virgin Blue livery and they come up with that...

Im not saying its terrible, but in contrast to the Virgin Blue livery this one is disappointing.
