Guests who booked with a travel agent will need to contact them directly.”accepted by creditors at a meeting last weekUnder Bain, Virgin Australia will cull 3000 jobs and several aircraft as it rebrands as a “value airline” with a focus on domestic and short-haul international flights.

Tiger may be gone but their ground crew staff still have jobs... Swissport, a Chinese owned company,who ran the ground crew service for Tiger have now taken all of JetstarAirways ground crew jobs in Sydney causing unemployment for so many.

We will surely miss TigerairAU 🧡🖤 thank you

I would rather pay more to Virgin than fly Qantas or jetstar both of which has been convicted of misleading & deceptive conduct at least 3 times & fined $4.4 million dollars for selling tickets on flights they knew would never fly.

No lamenting here. Tried to fly them twice. Both times my flight was cancelled the day before. Both times I had to spend a fortune on a new flight on another airline.

Bring back TAA

This is just the beginning!

Virgin airline new owners destroying the airline

Question is will this be on time or delayed!!

Go for zero: what Victoria can teach NSW about COVID-19Opinion: At first glance, it seems NSW has managed the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic better than Victoria. So, should the NSW government and public sit on their hands, safe in the knowledge there is nothing to learn from Victoria? The answer is no SHUT UP WITH THIS BRAINLESS BULLSHIT , THERE HASN'T EVEN BEEN A FRIGGING RIPPLE HERE. The only thing NSW could learn from VIC is how to suppress freedom, keep citizens quiet and blame everyone else. Don't circulate casual, unskilled staff between nursing homes when there's a pandemic?
