About V Australia:
 
Virgin Blue International Airlines Pty Ltd, trading as V Australia, is a long haul international airline owned by Virgin Blue Holdings Limited. The airline is based in Sydney, Australia.
In early 2006 Virgin Blue announced its intention to operate up to seven flights a week to the US using either Los Angeles International Airport or San Francisco International Airport, saying that the route was needed to make the airline as profitable as possible.
The airline was given permission for ten flights a week to the US by Australian regulators on 24 July 2007. The plans were approved by US regulators on 15 February 2008, due to the signing of an open skies agreement between Australia and the USA. V Australia has since been allowed unlimited capacity between Australia and the US by the Australian International Air Services Commission.
On 17 August 2009, V Australia announced that it would expand on its Brisbane/Sydney to Los Angeles routes. It was announced that the airline would fly from Melbourne to Johannesburg (from 13 March 2010), Los Angeles (from 1 December 2009) and Phuket (from 3 December 2009) as well as Brisbane to Phuket (from 22 November 2009). Melbourne to Phuket would be operated once each week while Brisbane to Phuket and Melbourne to Los Angeles would both be twice weekly. The regularity of the Johannesburg route was not announced.
V Australia also announced on 17 August 2009, that it had applied to fly between Australia and Fiji.
The airline has also expressed interest in flying to Japan, possibly from October 2009. V Australia are also considering routes to China, according to an interview with Sir Richard Branson (July/Aug 2009 official newsletter of the British Chamber of Commerce (Shanghai). Virgin Blue has recently stated that it is possible that the airline's sixth Boeing 777-300ER will be used exclusively for North Asian destinations.
Since then, Virgin Blue has applied to the United States Department of Transportation to operate services to and from Sydney Airport to Los Angeles International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas), and John F. Kennedy International Airport (New York City). Permission from the DOT was given on 15 February 2008, with the signing of an open skies agreement between Australia and the USA.
Virgin Blue has placed orders with Boeing to purchase six Boeing 777-300ER aircraft for use on international routes. V Australia's first 777-300ER leased from ILFC, named Didgeree Blue registered (VH-VOZ), was delivered to V Australia in Seattle at Boeing's headquarters on 26 January 2009. On 9 February Didgeree Blue touched down at Sydney Kingsford-Smith Airport after flying from Seattle via Los Angeles where it was launched to the U.S press by Richard Branson and Australian celebrities Julian McMahon and Holly Valance. V Australia is only the second airline to fly the Boeing 777 on the transpacific route between Australia and North America. Air Canada started flying daily flights with the Boeing 777 one year earlier.
V Australia commenced passenger services on 27 February 2009.
