Will just start up the leisure/LCC route of Queenstown, all other trans-tasman flying plans are gone with no date for review.
Virgin Australia has again pushed back its plans to return to international short-haul routes following news that the federal government is unlikely to allow a return of international travel until mid-2022.
In light of the news, Virgin has announced it has again deferred its intentions to reinstate flights from Australia to Fiji and Indonesia until “at least” December 2021.
Further, in a surprising call, despite the government’s provision for a trans-Tasman bubble, Virgin will not be pursuing flights to any New Zealand destination except Queenstown for the foreseeable future.
