Codeshare and interline agreements

[edit]

Currently, Virgin Australia has agreements with airlines including United Airlines, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airways, and Air Canada.

It was announced on 26 August 2010 that Virgin Australia had signed a codeshare and interline agreement with Etihad Airways, giving Virgin passengers access to 65 destinations in Europe and the Middle East.[27]

Virgin America and Virgin Australia International Airlines shared terminal facilities at Los Angeles International Airport's Terminal 3, however, only the check-in desks are located there, both inbound and outbound Virgin Australia flights arrive and depart from the Tom Bradley International Terminal.

United Airlines and Virgin Australia announced on 15 December 2021 that beginning in April 2022, a new partnership between the two would see the longer than a decade partnership with Delta Air Lines be scrapped.[28]
