Virgin Australia has announced it is suspending all domestic flights except for one between Sydney and Melbourne as the coronavirus outbreak continues to impact the airline industry. Earlier Virgin Australia suspended all international flights till June 14.
A spokesperson for Virgin said the decision was in response to the recent downturn in customers.
“As a result of government restrictions, fewer people are traveling and we have made changes to our schedules to reflect this,” they said.
“We continue to operate a daily service between Melbourne and Sydney, provide cargo transport locally and overseas, and operate charter flights including assisting the Government in bringing Australians home.” Flights will be suspended from April 10.
Last month the airline announced it would suspend all international flights for two and a half months from March 30 to June 14. As per the other source, suspension of domestic flights may continue till June 15.
