CEO commentary
Virgin Australia Group CEO Jayne Hrdlicka said the airline’s plan to create a more affordable and accessible Business Class offering had come to fruition.
“Virgin Australia represents some of the best value in the travel market,” said Ms Hrdlicka.
“Our Business Class airfare pricing is another example of how we have reset our cost base and then invested in creating premium travel experiences at very affordable and competitive prices, which we know our customers love.”
“Virgin Australia is continuing to serve all segments of the market while building a highly competitive proposition around our long-standing and most loyal guests, which include price-conscious corporate travellers, small and medium-sized businesses (SME), premium leisure travellers and holidaymakers.”
“If you look at the corporate and SME market as an example, many organisations are emerging from the pandemic with a more value-conscious orientation and we are confident they are going to find our pricing across Economy, Economy X and Business Class very attractive.”
“Right now, Virgin Australia’s one-way domestic Business Class fares are up to 60 per cent cheaper than our pre-pandemic fares**, and in an independent airfare study released in July 2021, our Economy fares were up to 67 per cent cheaper #. It’s hard to look past Virgin Australia if you want award-winning service and reliability without the price tag.”
“Looking ahead, we are confident our value-for-money travel experiences will see us achieve a 33 per cent share of the market this year, which we’ve always said was our goal.”
“Travel demand is going from strength to strength with passenger bookings currently ahead of 2019 levels, which shows just how bright our future is”, she said.
