Virgin signs deal with sister carrier Down Under
Virgin Atlantic has signed a code share deal with its Australian sister airline Virgin Blue.
The agreement will enable customers to book a flight from the UK all the way through to Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Cairns, Gold Coast and Coolangatta using Virgin Blue’s internal network.
Virgin Atlantic currently operates a daily service to Sydney.
The carrier said it would provide a seamless experience for travellers with “smooth and hassle-free” connections between the international and domestic airlines.
Virgin Blue chief executive Brett Godfrey said: “It’s an exciting step forward as it streamlines the process of booking Virgin all the way, making it easier for travel agents to book our passengers on both airlines.”
The codeshare agreement starts on July 17.
