Virgin Australia has provided more clarity on the next phase of its narrowbody upgrade programme, with these new details emerging against the backdrop of a tightening in domestic capacity due to the latest industry crisis. The carrier's fleet plan includes the delivery of its remaining 737-8s and then the much-delayed introduction of its Boeing 737-10 orders. Despite a slight retreat due to the Iran conflict and related fuel price spikes, Virgin Australia has boosted its narrowbody fleet to higher levels than before the pandemic. However, the growth trend has been gradual rather than dramatic, as the carrier has taken a very careful and cautious approach since its restructuring. This is also reflected in its reluctance to expand further internationally (aside from its foray into widebody wet leasing). The carrier is even more heavily focused on its domestic narrowbody operation than it was before its COVID-19 era restructuring, as it now has a much more limited international presence.
