Minister joins push for international Qantas services from Adelaide

The rival airline on Tuesday also reiterated its pledge to help stranded passengers get home and offered to assist Bonza staff members affected by news of its voluntary administration.

A new statement from administrator Hall Chadwick reveals the airline’s directors were only told they were losing control of their 737 MAXs the day before the repossessions occurred.

Virgin has also confirmed in a submission to the ACCC that codesharing with long-time partner Singapore Airlines would extend only to flights to and from Asia, though unlike with Etihad, this would not affect frequent flyer benefits.
