Virgin Australia will make changes to its Los Angeles routes later this year, with more Brisbane flights taking the place of the Melbourne services, which will be suspended.
Effective 26 October 2014, the airline will boost the frequency of its Brisbane-LAX route from four flights per week to daily. The route will be operated using Virgin Australia’s three-class Boeing 777 aircraft.
To make room for these flights however, Virgin Australia will cease operating services between Melbourne and LAX, with the last flight on this route departing on 25 October 2014.
“The changes announced today are a result of extensive market analysis. Having the right frequency is very important to corporate and leisure customers and moving to daily flights from Brisbane enables us to provide more choice and flexibility to those travelling to and from Queensland,” explained Virgin Australia’s chief commercial officer, Judith Crompton.
“Those travelling from Melbourne will still be able to travel to Los Angeles on one ticket with through-checked baggage, connecting through Sydney or Brisbane, and we are committed to providing competitive fares on these routes.”
Following this change, Virgin Australia and its trans-Pacific partner Delta Air Lines will offer two daily services between Sydney and LAX and one daily service from Brisbane.
