V Australia is a new trans-pacific airline set to take off in December 2008, and is a member of the Virgin Blue Group. The airline came about as a result of the Australian and United States Open Skies agreement, whereby airlines including V Australia have been granted unlimited access to the Trans-Pacific route.
The airline will fly to Los Angeles daily from Sydney and three times weekly from Brisbane. Connecting flights across the United States will be available with V Australia’s airline partner, North West Airlines.
