Virgin Australia will upgrade its Sydney-Fiji flights from Boeing 737s to an Airbus A330 on selected days in April plus June through October 2014, and also roster the big twin-aisle jet onto selected Sydney-Melbourne flights.
The A330 will fly between Sydney and Nadi, Fiji on Saturdays during peak travel periods "in response to increased demand," Virgin says, in what marks the first international route for its A330 fleet.
The A330s will run on Saturdays from 4 April 2015 – 18 April 2015 and 20 June 2015 – 24 October 2015, along with "select days during the Christmas and New Year period."
From September the Fiji-bound A330s will boast Virgin's next-generation business class seats (below).
Virgin's A330s will also be rostered onto the Sydney-Melbourne corridor during "select morning weekday peak periods, as well as during international sporting events where there are peaks in demand during short periods."
There's no firm schedule at this stage, however, with Virgin saying only that travellers will be "able to see the type of aircraft scheduled to operate a flight during the booking process."
