Virgin Australia Prepares For IPO In June

Virgin Australia has been navigating its potential shares’ return with new leadership at the helm of the company.

Virgin Australia’s oldest aircraft is more than 21 years old.

Emerson has been the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Virgin Australia since June 2021.

Airlines are pointing to a lack of female pilots as a reason for the gap.

Affected stakeholders can still send in their concerns about the Qatar Airways and Virgin Australia partnership until March 7.

Four airlines will operate for the first time since 2018.

Qatar Airways would operate the new flights through its aircraft and crew, in what is known in the aviation industry as a “wet lease” arrangement.

With a land mass nearly as big as the US, Australia has several long domestic routes.

It follows Virgin Australia adding Melbourne-Doha service, its fourth route to Qatar.

Qatar Airways is adding an extra sector to Canberra on its regular Doha – Melbourne 777 services.
