Virgin raises job hopes
Angus Hohenboken | September 02, 2008
VIRGIN Blue is promising the creation of more than 1000 jobs over five years with the opening of a new crew base in Sydney.
The job opportunities will be for pilots, engineers and cabin crew. The base, near Sydney airport, will also be a central point for maintenance for Australian-based Virgin aircraft.
The move is expected to be announced by NSW Premier Morris Iemma today.
Investment in the base, which has been housed in existing buildings, follows the company's decision earlier this year to base its new international airline VAustralia in Sydney.
