New colours would be on the MAX likely, would not start seeing any leaks from the Seattle production line until about November.

Going by the flyover video in this new media release, it may appear “Virgin” is written on the inside of the winglet.

I don't think that's the final livery design. They will have released that video just to give media outlets some footage to run on the news tonight.

Exactly, because the tail isn't even the new logo colour mix for VA, which is already appearing on their website and other marketing material.
Hopefully something will leak soon

 

[Saab34]

Your leaving us hanging simmomelb…is it better or worse vs the current livery?

So my theory of Qatar purchasing Virgin and renaming it Qatar Australia and then Qatar defecting to *A is off the cards?


Edit for appalling grammar that is only slightly improved.

Virgin Australia is advertising "Something Wonderful is Coming" on 23/10/2022 across their social media platforms. Could this be related to the twice-cancelled event because of cOvId?

Let the speculation begin.

1. New Livery?
2. Star Alliance?
3. New Uniforms?
4. New International (Short Haul) destinations?
5. Qatar or United stake?
6. Widebody leases?

So what was “wonderful”? I haven’t seen anything.

They're now telling everyone to have a "wonderful" flight... but haven't done anything to change the actual experience. Groundbreaking.

They have actually. They’re running what they’re calling a ‘middle seat lottery’ where if you end up sitting in the middle seat you can enter the draw for prizes including buckets of points, cruises, flights etc. It can be dismissed as fairly trivial but I’ll give them credit for at least something in respect of the middle seat experience.

That’s lovely and all but yesterday they had one of the worst days in a long time re cancellations. I moved my flight forward a day and thank god I did otherwise I would have been delayed a day.

Should have launched it when the place had some operational stability.

I wouldn’t say it’s a wonderful experience flying anyone at the moment. Let’s get through Xmas and see what happens once the rush has finished Jan 31. Wonderful in my book is arrival and departure performance back to the mid to high 80s and cancellations 1/2%.
