Virgin long-haul flights to Doha go on sale

Virgin Australia’s Boeing 777-300ER service to Los Angeles was a victim of the airline’s voluntary administration. When the US-based Bain Capital purchased the airline, it axed the unprofitable service and three of the airline’s 777s were taken up by Qatar.

The Virgin Australia flights to Doha will operate on the same model aircraft and while being “operated” by Virgin Australia, the flights will be on Qatar aircraft with airline’s cockpit and cabin crews onboard.
