I loved the 2016-2019 era of virgin Australia and when they were thriving and had the 777 and a330 man I wish I could go back in time

Aww man this was so beautiful to watch. I mean the virgin blue was a fantastic livery but VA's livery just feels more modern simpler and cleaner. I'd love to fly this airline one day while it still bares this livery

I love the old livery it has a bit more colour

Actually it's been found that aerodynamic stability, drag, and maximum speed can be increased by painting flames on the side

I loved the red, but I love the fact that you fly 737-800s on domestic runs a bit more.. I have wanted to visit Australia my whole life, maybe sometime in the next few years. That means I follow Virgin Australia's flights around on flight tracking apps, when I'm stuck in bed with back pain, or in my free time. I pretend to on on every flight wondering what great place to visit when we land. I love the white with red also. You might think I'm a 12-16 year old kid writing this, but in reality, I'll be 65 in July. I have had a long career in working with doctors and college degrees, but when the topic is flight we are all 12 year olds amazed at the miracle of flight. Be well Virgin Australia and employees, great success and happiness to my adopted airline and the beautiful country it represents. From Arizona in the US, Best Wishes, thanks for the video!

There are other interesting airlines in Australia if you want to follow them too Bobby. Of course most people have heard of Qantas but then there's its regional line Qantaslink. Qantas has its low cost airline Jetstar. Then there's Regional Express, known as Rex, there's a small regional airline called Air North that also has one international flight from Darwin to Dili in Timor-Leste and there are various other small local airlines. All worth a look.

Yes I forgot about Alliance. I haven't seen any reference to scheduled routes flown by Alliance in its own name though. They fly a lot of routes for other airlines plus mining flights as far as I know.

Never seen paint stripped from an aircraft before. That was interesting. By any chance could I have the name of the music?

virgin blue is a beautiful plane i love the old livery:)

Definitely remember the planes in their virgin•blue livery back in 2006... those were the days. Probably wishing the designs had a red belly to go with their white shell though...

I love this airline and I like this video it's cool😀

Looked better in the original colour

I missed the old aircraft the last time I flew with it it was like sydeny to Melbourne when I moved to Melbourne I was from shanghai to sydeny to Melbourne

I flew from Melbourne back home to Adelaide. I cried the drive home because there is so much more to explore on this earth that when we die we haven’t explored every bit of the world

Who else thinks the paint melting is so satisfying? I've actually tried finding videos of just that.

I have a snap together plastic model of the red version. Love it and all things to do with aircraft, airports and airlines

Really fascinating to see- thanks!!!

THAT IS SO COOL FROM OLD TO NEW

Wow!!!!!! Nice airline I can't wait to see my friends 😍

found the music, "Louder" by Night Fever www.musicbed.com/songs/louder/6795

Amazing job guys/girls! Hope the airline comes out even stronger and eventually flies to Tokyo ( my home city ) So I can fly them because I just love the hospitality and the flight crew and cabin crew are amazing I flew them from Hong Kong to Sydney and it was amazing!

Beautiful job... love the new paint scheme!

Awesome job.!!!

I like these newer liveries airlines are doing around Oceania. Older ones like the more square Qantas, red virgin and blue Air New Zealand all scream early 2000s to me. Black Air NZ, new sleek font for Qantas as well as modified tail designs along with of course this new Virgin livery all look gorgeous!

I liked it in some areas, it really depends on the aircraft. I hated the A320s until the new livery but I loved the 737s and I still love the Q300s in the Pacific wave

Amazing!

When the paint went off I have goosebumps

That was some hardcore paint stripper

Should make all the rest red tbh, looks so much better

I like the music and the beat cause it is cool and the plane getting repainting plus I'm a Australian

Wish we could have kept Blue in the name....but nice work!!!!

The paint just melts off Where can I get a diecast model of the new plane from

35 years ago a bean counter worked out that it cost one dollar extra in fuel to carry an extra pound of paint weight for 12 months.

Awesome video +Virgin Australia I love the new livery but also liked the old one. On another topic, 2 questions: was the A330 ordered after the name change (personally I think it was but I am not sure) and secondly is the changeover to the new livery complete?

I think repainting costs much money for company. Because aircraft is not flying these 11 days, so it does not generate income, but company pays lease payments for aircraft non-stop.

@minecraftperson999

+Roman Zerstoren They don't pay Lease payments for the aircraft. Virgin Australia owns both the Aircraft and the Hangar it is being painted in. Yes, they are losing money in fares because the aircraft is not in service for 11 days, but they aren't losing money otherwise.
