Virgin Australia statement on Boeing 737 MAX 8s

Safety is Virgin Australia’s number one priority.

We are closely watching the situation and monitoring any updates from Boeing and the investigating authorities.

There are currently no Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft in our fleet and it is too early for us to make comment on our order. With our first aircraft delivery not due until November this year, we believe there is sufficient time to consider the outcome of the investigation and make an assessment.
