Virgin Australia
Virgin Australia Airlines is Australia's second-largest airline after
Qantas Airways and it is the largest airline
by fleet size to use the Virgin brand. Virgin Australia offers scheduled flights
between major cities in Australia and New Zealand.
Headquartered in South Brisbane, the airline was co-founded by
British businessman Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group and former
CEO Brett Godfrey.
It was established as Virgin Blue in November 1999 with two aircraft
operating on a single route, and suddenly found itself catapulted to the
position of Australia's second airline after the collapse of Ansett
Australia in September 2001.

The airline has grown to directly serve 29 cities in Australia from hubs in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, using a fleet of narrow-body Boeing; and Airbus and Boeing widebody jets.
In April 2013 Skywest was purchased by Virgin Australia Holdings as its new
regional offshoot, and renamed Virgin Australia Regional Airlines to servicing
key towns in the state of Western Australia as well as interstate destinations
Darwin, Alice Springs, and Adelaide.
