Virgin Blue/Virgin Australia Airbus A330-243 VH-XFA

In 2011, Virgin Blue announced sweeping changes to the company, including the implementation of full, two cabin, service, widebodied aircraft and the integration of the V Australia fleet into mainline operations.
These changes were announced prior to the rebranding of the beloved Virgin Blue to the carrier we all knew and hated; Virgin Australia.
