VIRGIN AUSTRALIA OUTLINES PLANS FOR NEW BRISBANE-TOKYO HANEDA FLIGHTS
Virgin Australia is seeking one of the new slots available to Tokyo Haneda airport to launch nonstop flights from Brisbane.
The airline’s application to the International Air Services Commission (IASC) says the new Brisbane-Tokyo Haneda service would be operated by Airbus A330-200 equipment and flown in partnership with Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA).
“The Japan market represents an excellent strategic fit for Virgin Australia, as a destination with a strong growth outlook for both inbound and outbound travel, and which appeals to our leisure and corporate customers alike,” Virgin Australia said in its submission posted on the IASC website on Wednesday.
