Virgin is Bain’s largest right now, especially given the massive capital injections they’ve been forced to pour in to keep it alive because of state border restrictions and a slower than anticipated pick up in demand.

But they will be sold next year some time. Will be interesting to see how much Bain hangs on to, and who they flog VA2 off to, if it isn’t just retail investors.
 
Iceland is a phenomenal holiday destination, offering amazing scenery that's totally alien to most Australians and friendly and welcoming people. Not to mention the Northern Lights. IcelandAir also has by far the most capacity to Iceland. It's extremely difficult to find frequent flyer availability to Iceland on any other airline.

I'd jump at the chance to fly one-stop to Iceland from Australia via Vancouver using Velocity points, flying Air Canada to Vancouver and IcelandAir the rest of the way.

All this is my long-winded way of saying that it would be great if Velocity could partner with IcelandAir!
