I think it's also that there's only 1 Qatar flight into Perth which is an A380. With the extra flight they could utilize the A380 elsewhere if it is too much equipment for a daily A380 and B777. Add on Emirates has just announced more capacity into Perth and I expect Scoot / Singapore Air to...

One of my flights next year has a stopover time of 9 hours 45 minutes in Doha and I have successfully been given an STPC (Stopover For The Purpose of Connection). If they flipped me to a new Virgin Australia flight the connection time would reduce to 3 hours 5 minutes. Interesting how it plays...

ET now has the flight schedules. Seems Perth and Melbourne starts have switched, with Perth starting earlier and Melbourne later...

The authorisation is for five years. There's no comment on how long the wet lease arrangement lasts, which is why it's been questioned.

As commented earlier the authorization is for 5 years. When finalized there maybe a comment that a further authorization will not be granted beyond 5 years unless Virgin Australia is operating it's own aircraft and crewed by VA crew. That said, they would need to be ordering aircraft pretty...

Interesting parts : The ACCC has also accepted a court enforceable undertaking from Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways in relation to the conduct. The undertaking accepted by the ACCC today ensures that if final regulatory approval is ultimately not granted, then customers who have booked these...

I'm sure anything noteworthy would have been leaked to the media by now.

That was at Virgin's / Qatar's request.

Afraid not. You'll need to call.

Looks like takeover was aborted and returned back to a terminal ? https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/vh-rex#380c462f

Jokes.... ACCC asks VA why they have an application which states Etihad's poor network in which Etihad are on the verge on announcing additional flights (and rumored to include Perth). It highlights poor form from VA. Though it maybe that they knew and another reason for what appears like a...

100% VA would have an internal legal department as they deal with airports, aircraft leasing etc. It would be much cheaper doing this inhouse. However, to what size the department is and the credentials is another. Whilst any company has an internal legal team, it's still normal practice to...

I've come across a better article. I'm sure everyone will agree they made a dogs breakfast of the application...

Pointshack have actually worded this very well. Though they then state ending codeshares with SAA which is wrong. The proposed investment by Qatar Airways is a pivotal factor in this development. According to the joint application submitted by Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways to the...

It's mentioned many times. Also, Also,

No they are not going, they are staying.

The application does comment that for SIA they actually tell Virgin Australia at what price to charge. VA don't decide how many they sell the tickets for (seems a little bit odd). At the start of the original relationship it didn't go down very well at SIA HQ that VA were undercutting them.

To enforce your comment :) The application is specific about no changes to the Velocity (reward) bookings. In which your comment is true because it's not a codeshare. Velocity and Virgin Australia are different companies. I think many forget the joint ventures all went during administration...

Don't get what you mean, it depends on your definition of "exclusive" as it can still allow limited access to others :-) SIA are staying (no codeshare to EMEA unless reward bookings) SAA, VS are staying (They didn't back track from that on the email on the 15th) Technically, yes the QR and VA...
