Australia will have another Airline exploit the niche left by Virgin. Just another brand that didn't cost Australian Taxpayers a bail-out fortune.

Jobs? Well, I guess Australia is good enough to make its own new businesses that are more Essential and more efficient to the new future ahead where Economic crashes might be common.

I wonder if it will be China Airlines?

Sister company, Corona Air.

Corona Airlines. Grin

Yes because scumo didn't want to pay goat beard Bransom his 15 million dollar a year pound of flesh to use the silly Virgin name and rightfully so. Also Virgin is majority foreign owned and we do not need another repeat of the Ford and Holden rent-a-job fiasco !!

Virgin Australia is 100% foreign owned.

40% is 2 Chinese companies at 20% each.

Bransons Virgin own only 10%.

The rest is -

Etihad Airways 21%

Singapore Airlines 20%

Free Float is 9%

What we don't need is Virgin Australia to become 90-100% Chinese owned.

Etihad and Singapore are foreign government airlines who own 41% of VA.

Why should taxpayers prop up a foreign owned company?

Might be a good time to buy shares in Qantas when we get on top of this Kung Flu

Should have bailed them out in exchange for equity.

The Govt may still, prob best to see if a private investor wants to step in first.

New Zealand airways? Look what they did with Ansett Roll Eyes

All well run airlines will be burning their cash reserves fast.
Bad ones will go under. Not much spare cash to go around.
Maybe Singapore ?

I hope the Govt steps in, Virgin is a decent company.
Take an equity stake and a deal for more onshore maintenance

Scotty from Marketing needs to get onto this ASAP.

Without Virgin, tourism is gonna suffer badly.

Virgin Australia, where the bloody hell are ya?

Long reaching (Spreading) Tourism will not be high on the list of Priorities to open up, even Domestically.

Tourism makes up a huge amount of our economy.

The problem is that we might not have any tourists for 2 years or more.

Domestic tourism is worth $63 billion a year.

If Virgin isn't saved, that figure will probably become $6 million.

We can't have tourism until there's a working vaccine.

Your ignorance is truly astounding.

Domestic tourism will be extremely high on the list of priorities once we get back to something resembling "normal".

People will want to stretch their legs.

If there's only one airline operating, they'll double their pre-covid prices.

Triple, even.

That will discourage a lot of people, and people who rely on the tourist dollar will continue to suffer.

Scotty from Marketing needs to do something, and he needs to act fast.

Domestic tourism, Bobby.

Domestic tourism will open up again in the next couple of months.

But, if Qantas are raping our arses, people aren't gonna travel.

Scotty from Marketing needs to act, and he needs to act now.

Not today, you brain dead idiot.

When things start to return to "normal".

I don't want anyone travelling interstate at the moment.

Take a sleeping tablet, or 30, and go to bed.

The adults are talking now.
