Despite its new focus on ACMI services, the airline says its regular passenger transport flights are here to stay, having recently taken over the Lord Howe Island route from QantasLink.
The seasonal service is the second American Airlines route currently operating into Australia alongside Sydney to Los Angeles, and will start at five flights per week before ramping up to daily services from December to the end of March.
According to Virgin, the changes “deliver clearer guidelines with simplified baggage allowances and will help improve overhead space availability to reduce delays, enhance safety, and create a smoother travel experience for guests”.
