We're on a mission to make flying better than 'nice'. Because why should you settle for a 'nice' flight, when you can have a wonderful one?
To help make our mission possible, we've brought on 2000 new team members, including 1440 in airports and in the air. We've restructured our fares, launched innovative in-flight experiences, and committed to a net-zero emissions target by 2050.
It's all part of our journey to create new and uplifting experiences, pack flights full of flair and personality, and Bring on Wonderful.

This is a difficult moment for Australian aviation with Rex entering voluntary administration and announcing the immediate suspension of its 737 jet operations. It is also a reminder of the challenging nature of our industry.
Our team is now moving quickly to support Rex’s customers and people.
Impacted Rex customers will be supported with rebooking on an equivalent Virgin Australia service free of charge. Customers will need to contact Virgin Australia before 14 August 2024 to take up this offer.
Rex customers with imminent travel in the next 48 hours should contact the Virgin Australia Guest Contact Centre on 13 67 89. For those who are not booked to travel in the next 48 hours, please refer to the Virgin Australia website to complete a rebooking from here: https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/forms/rex-rebooking-request/.
We are also offering support to Rex employees who may be impacted by today’s announcement. People whose employment has been affected should visit the expression of interest form on our website to apply for open positions.
Due to expected delays in Virgin Australia’s order deliveries for new 737 MAX-8s, Virgin Australia is in the process of securing leases for three of the 737-800 aircraft Rex will no longer operate. These aircraft will be used to support Virgin Australia’s existing published schedules. It will also provide us with capacity to respond if market growth accelerates faster than currently anticipated. Securing these three aircraft will have the additional benefit of enabling Virgin Australia to hire more Cabin Crew and Pilots, creating jobs that will be made available for impacted Rex employees.
We are thinking of our colleagues at Rex today and we are committed to supporting Australian travellers who are impacted by this announcement.
