VIRGIN BLUE has gone truly international, if you don”t include New Zealand, with the introduction of a three times per week service between Brisbane and Fiji last Wednesday. The following day flights from Melbourne got under way, also three times weekly. With the inbound services scheduled to arrive and depart Fiji midday or early afternoon, travellers will have ample time to spread out beyond the traditional Coral Coast and Mamanuca Island resorts to Suva and the outer Fijian Islands. Islanders were disappointed to find Virgin Blue chief executive, Brett Godfrey, on the inaugural flight. Richard Branson in a grass skirt would have been interesting.
