We pride ourselves in being your airline of choice
At Virgin Australia, we have taken every step to ensure we operate one of the world’s most advanced and modern fleet of aircraft.
Attractive and powerful, and with more than 94 aircraft in operation, our fleet is a frontrunner in its field. Each aircraft houses some of the most advanced avionics in history, and is tailored to specifically meet the demands of its market (Regional, Domestic or International).
Beneath the gleaming white and red livery and world-famous signature, you will find efficient engines and lighter structures – which make better use of fuel and in return produce lower emissions – as well as superior comfort, entertainment and service features.
