I've added some details about the history of the ownership of Virgin - However this is only as far as the stock exchange listing - Lots more to do. Abeorch 14:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Company name

edit

There are no sources to verify the claim that the company has been renamed to VIRGIN AUSTRALIA HOLDINGS LIMITED. Their ASX page still has Virgin Blue Holdings. And it is still being reported as Virgin Blue Holdings in the press. Please provide sources for the name change before moving anything and if these aren't forthcoming, follow WP:RM as it is clearly being contested. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 07:32, 4 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I know its not a good source but the whos information for the domain virginaustralia.com is registered to VIRGIN AUSTRALIA HOLDINGS PTY LTD. See here: http://www.who.is/whois/virginaustralia.com/

I was looking at the ASIC filing for a "Change to Company Details Change Officeholder Name" for VIRGIN AUSTRALIA HOLDINGS PTY LIMITED on 23 April, but looking further I agree that was wrong. VIRGIN AUSTRALIA INTERNATIONAL (HOLDINGS) PTY LTD has several name change documents filed (including the 205A), and is listed on ASIC as "Former names: VIRGIN BLUE INTERNATIONAL (HOLDINGS) PTY LTD; VB INTERNATIONAL (HOLDINGS) PTY LTD" (dated 4 May 2011). The airline and the international holding company listings for Virgin Blue redirect on the ASIC database to Virgin Australia, so it looks like they're official but the Virgin Blue Holdings listing does not. Interestingly, the former name listed for VIRGIN AUSTRALIA HOLDINGS PTY LIMITED is "READY SHELFCO PTY LIMITED", so maybe someone else had registered the name. Also, Virgin Blue Holdings is VIRGIN AUSTRALIA HOLDINGS LIMITED not PTY LIMITED as Virgin Blue Holdings is a public nor proprietary company, so I guess there's a different process to changing the name with the ASX. --Canley (talk) 00:32, 5 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, looking at this link the company is now called VIRGIN AUSTRALIA HOLDINGS PTY LIMITED. Am i correct? If so would it be time to change the name of this article? Thanks --JetBlast (talk) 11:57, 16 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Is this still correct?

edit

I’m no expert on this, but after Air New Zealand divested its shares and ended their partnership with Virgin, why would they still share their engine pool and maintenance workshops? Can someone please check the Air New Zealand divestment section to see if this section is still true. Even if it’s not provable that this is no longer correct, I think it should be removed as it’s just not likely. In addition to that, it’s still written as if the alliance is still going. “In addition to their alliance on the Tasman, Virgin's Boeing 737-800s and ATR 72 turboprops undergo maintenance checks at Air New Zealand's engineering workshops in Christchurch and Nelson, respectively. The pair also has a shared Boeing 777-300ER engine pool.“ Fork99 (talk) 08:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I've decided to remove this paragraph. Fork99 (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Quick sidenote

I was looking through the edit history and noticed something. When Virgin "was" (still is, but currently doesn't matter) in administration, the infobox had a "Fate" entry. Just FYI, the "Fate" entry for company infoboxes is only used if the company is actually defunct (no longer operating). See Template:Infobox company. Fork99 (talk) 21:47, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
