Despite being an 'all Boeing 737' airline for now, Virgin eyes a comeback to routes further afield, including Los Angeles

Despite jettisoning its internationally-configured Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 aircraft, Virgin Australia is mapping out its return to overseas flying: particularly to the United States, as well as New Zealand.Although the airline will run an all-Boeing 737 fleet in the short term, as time progresses and international travel restrictions ease, a new type of aircraft is set to join the Virgin Australia fleet, allowing it to fly from continent to continent.

Speaking at today's CAPA Australia Pacific Aviation Summit, Virgin Australia CEO Paul Scurrah confirmed that “we do intend to go back to the markets we were flying in … and commit to a new widebody fleet.”

Closer to home, “if New Zealand opened up soon, we’d jump at it, because we’ve got aircraft we want to deploy. New Zealand is a part of our future plan, so as soon as we can be back there, the better.”
