  Virgin Blue: sale fares and cheap flights in Australia
Virgin Blue is one of Australia’s leading budget airlines, not only providing low cost service and a genuine friendly atmosphere in-flight, but winning awards for doing it so well.
The Virgin group, which includes Virgin Blue, has proven to be an international force and here in Australia the quality of service rivals that of other major airlines, for only a fraction of the price.
Virgin Blue flies with 2 different types of aircraft – the Boeing 737-800 carrying around 180 passengers and 737-700 carrying 144 passengers.

  Virgin Blue eyes major Boeing order | Reuters
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's Virgin Blue Holdings Ltd. (VBA.AX: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Tuesday it was close to signing an order for new Boeing (BA.N: Quote, Profile, Research) planes worth up to US$2.6 billion ahead of the launch of long-haul flights to the United States next year.
Virgin, the nation's second-largest airline, also firmed up orders for new planes from Brazilian planemaker Embraer (EMBR3.SA: Quote, Profile, Research) as it expands in Australia and the South Pacific.
Virgin, which earlier reported an 81 percent jump in first-half profit, at the upper end of analysts' estimates, said it expected to sign off on a order for seven Boeing 777-300ER widebody aircraft within weeks, with options for a further six.

 Virgin Blue - Healthcare
Virgin Blue's entry to the Australian market in 2000 promised to 'keep the air fair', a clever play on words that heralded a new era of low cost travel across the Australian continent.
The challenge for Virgin Blue, like any other new entrant to a highly competitive market, is to capture market share and do so profitably.
One contributing factor to Virgin Blue's success in Australia is its use of the Internet to empower its customers to do more for themselves.

 Virgin Blue shows Qantas why it's the Red Baron - Business - Business
In the answer to that question, and the puzzle of how Virgin Blue was able to increase profit 12 per cent for the nine months to June — and increase its profit margin — while around the globe airline profits are being decimated by their fuel costs, lies something disturbing for Qantas' Geoff Dixon.
Given that Virgin Blue, which hasn't hedged its fuel costs, had to cope with a 35 per cent rise in fuel costs, its performance relative to the other airlines in the region is remarkable.
For Dixon, Virgin Blue's ability to cope with the difficult environment is an early warning signal that the original strategy that led to Jetstar's creation may have forced Virgin Blue to evolve in a way that represents an even more direct, albeit long-term, threat to Qantas' core franchise.

 CorpWatch : AUSTRALIA: Virgin Blue discrimination case flies again
Virgin Blue has launched an appeal against a ruling that it discriminated against eight former Ansett flight attendants because they were not young and attractive enough.
Mr Savage also found Virgin Blue failed to offer a realistic explanation for why no one over 36 was employed as cabin crew during the airline's recruitment drive from September 2001 to September 2002.
He argued Virgin Blue was not given enough warning the case was being fought on the basis that the discrimination was unintentional and unconscious.

 CNN.com - Virgin Blue faces tougher outlook - May 17, 2004
Virgin Blue, which was started in September 2000 by British entrepreneur Richard Branson but is now controlled by Australian transport and logistics group Patrick Corp, has built its Australian domestic market share to about 33 percent on the strength of discount fares.
Both Qantas and Virgin Blue have already imposed a fuel surcharge to compensate for this.
Virgin Blue CEO Brett Godfrey said Monday that despite fuel costs rising more than 28 percent during the year, the airline's cost per available seat kilometer (ASK) fell slightly to 8.16 Australian cents for the full year, and was 7.73 cents for the half year to March 31.

 Huge call for Virgin Blue at top price - www.smh.com.au
Virgin Blue has shrugged off any threat to its growth plans and sharemarket float by Qantas's discount offshoot JetStar, bragging that its initial public offering of about $600 million closed more than 10 times oversubscribed and at the top of its price range.
With Virgin Blue to start trading on the Stock Exchange with a market capitalisation of $2.3 billion, the two questions lingering on Friday were whether Sir Richard Branson would sell down his 29.1 per cent stake, and what publicity stunt the Virgin founder had for Monday's listing ceremony.
But aside from Sir Richard, another Virgin Blue shareholder set to wake up with a big grin on his face on Monday, is the airline's chief executive, Brett Godfrey, whose 34.75 million shares in the airline will be worth $78 million.

 ReadingGroupGuides.com -The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier
Village life turns out to be less than idyllic when dreams of a disturbing color blue get between her and her plans.
Her nightmares of the color blue, and her father's suggestion, lead Ella investigate her French Huguenot ancestry, trace their flight into Switzerland following the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, and unearth the sinister secret the family has buried for four hundred years.
Alternating between the stories of Ella and Isabelle, The Virgin Blue is a haunting tale of ancestral legacies set against a dazzlingly descriptive portrait of French provincial life today, as well as of the hardships-and harsh beauty-of life in the sixteenth century.
