Virgin Australia Revamps Fleet with Throwback Design
Virgin Australia has unveiled its first-ever retro livery on a Boeing 737-8 aircraft, named Lake Centenary, marking the airline’s 150th Boeing 737 since 2000. The B737-8, which burns 19% less fuel and produces 50% less noise than the older B737-800, will enter service in April 2026. Virgin Australia is undergoing a fleet renewal push, with four Embraer E190-E2 jets on the way. CEO Dave Emerson emphasized the airline’s strong position and commitment to investing in its future.
