Virgin Australia Holdings Limited operates one of Australia’s leading airlines, offering a full-service travel experience across domestic and international routes. Headquartered in Brisbane, the company provides scheduled passenger flights, freight and cargo services, and a range of ancillary products including in-flight catering, lounge access, and ground handling. Its fleet of narrow- and wide-body aircraft serves major cities and regional centers throughout Australia, as well as destinations in New Zealand, the South Pacific and Asia.
The airline was originally established in 2000 under the name Virgin Blue and rebranded as Virgin Australia in 2011 to align with its parent group’s global identity. In April 2020, the company entered voluntary administration amid challenging market conditions and subsequently emerged under new ownership led by Bain Capital. This restructuring allowed Virgin Australia to renew its focus on customer service, network expansion and operational efficiency.
Virgin Australia operates multiple cabin classes, including Business, Premium Economy and Economy, and maintains a loyalty program that enables members to earn and redeem points on flights, car hire and accommodation partners. The carrier also collaborates with international airline partners, providing customers with access to an extensive global network through code-share agreements and alliance relationships.
The company is overseen by a board of directors and an executive leadership team committed to sustainable growth, innovation and customer satisfaction. Under the guidance of Chief Executive Officer Jayne Hrdlicka—appointed in 2020—Virgin Australia continues to refine its product offerings and expand its presence both domestically and in the broader Asia-Pacific region.
