Virgin Australia
Australia's answer to the question 'what if an airline was just... nice?' Virgin Australia went through administration during COVID, was bought by Bain Capital, and re-emerged as a streamlined 737 operator focused on being the not-Qantas option Australians love.
Virgin Australia was originally called 'Virgin Blue' when it launched in 2000 as a low-cost carrier. It rebranded in 2011 to go upmarket, then went budget-friendly again after its 2020 restructuring.
