Virgin Australia

Virgin Australia is launching its first-ever international service from Canberra with direct flights to Bali starting June 22, 2026. The airline will operate three weekly return flights using Boeing 737-800 aircraft, adding over 40,000 seats annually between the two cities.

Virgin Australia has extended its Pets in Cabin trial through June 30, 2026, citing higher than expected bookings and positive feedback since the service launched in October 2025. The trial will continue operating on flights between Melbourne Airport and the Gold Coast Airport, as well as Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast Airport.
