Confident Branson: V Australia ready for competition
Tuesday February 10, 2009
"We have one the world's strongest brands. Sure if you launch when the economy is booming you're going to get to profit quicker than when you're launching in probably the worst recession since 1929," he said, adding that, V Australia parent Virgin Blue did not need to go to the markets for capital as Qantas did last week (ATWOnline, Feb. 5). "We just don't need it," he said. [/quote]
Bien sûr, ... Sir RB déborde de confiance er d'enthousiasme, ... comme d'habitude ! C'est superbe !
The carrier's 777-300ER is configured with 35 business class beds, 40 premium economy and 288 economy seats. V Australia has up to 15 orders and options.

Nous lui souhaitons "Bonne Chance" ! Il mérite toute la réussite, à la hauteur de son enthousiasme ! Espérons qu'il a plus de chance qu'Air Canada !
Nous ne lui souhaitons aucun malheur, ni à la Cie., ni à ses appareils, ni à ses clients, ni à ses équipages !
Mais, ...son enthousiasme prendra un coup, dès que le GE90-115B infligera à V Australia son premier IFSD ou déroutement !
Et, jusqu'ici, et jusqu'à nouvel ordre, le risque statistique n'est pas faible !

Confident Branson: V Australia ready for competition
Tuesday February 10, 2009
Virgin Group President Richard Branson was upbeat at Friday's Seattle delivery ceremony as V Australia took delivery of the first of seven 777-300ERs and, speaking to ATWOnline, dismissed naysayers who warned of starting an airline in difficult times.
"We have one the world's strongest brands. Sure if you launch when the economy is booming you're going to get to profit quicker than when you're launching in probably the worst recession since 1929," he said, adding that, V Australia parent Virgin Blue did not need to go to the markets for capital as Qantas did last week (ATWOnline, Feb. 5). "We just don't need it," he said. [/quote]
Bien sûr, ... Sir RB déborde de confiance er d'enthousiasme, ... comme d'habitude ! C'est superbe !
......Branson claimed passengers will choose V Australia for both its fares and its product. "We have the best cabins, most enthusiastic staff and flying will be really fun," he promised. Forward bookings are strong, with flights for the next two months 65% full and loads in July already at 45%.
