Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA) has consolidated its position as a leader in regional air travel. The airline has earned the prestigious title of World’s Best Regional Airline for the second consecutive year.
This accolade was awarded by AirlineRatings.com, and highlights VARA’s exceptional service across its network.
AirlineRatings.com Awards
The AirlineRatings.com awards are highly regarded within the aviation industry. They consider a comprehensive range of factors, including passenger comfort, feedback gathered directly from travellers, and the consistency of the airline’s product offering.
Critically, the assessment process evaluates each airline’s performance across its entire fleet and network, ensuring a holistic and accurate picture of its operations.
Nathan Miller, Executive General Manager of VARA, expressed immense pride in the award. He acknowledged the hard work and dedication of the entire VARA team.
“This is wonderful recognition of the VARA team and further cements the airline’s commitment to providing exceptional service for its clients and passengers,” Mr. Miller stated.
Miller highlighted the airline’s ongoing transformation journey, marked by significant investments in the regional aviation sector.
“VARA has been on a significant transformation journey over the past few years with a number of major investments in the regional aviation sector. This recognition comes down to the hard work of all our people in the west, who have been firmly focused on improving our business and delivering a strong product and service experience to our regional market.”
Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings.com, praised VARA for its consistent excellence in service, reliability, and overall passenger experience.
“VARA has consistently delivered an outstanding travel experience, combining efficiency and customer focus to meet the needs of regional and Fly in Fly Out (FiFo) travellers,” Ms. Petersen commented.
This recognition speaks volumes about VARA’s ability to cater to the unique demands of regional travel, including the often complex logistics of Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) operations. These are crucial for connecting remote communities and supporting industries like mining and resources.
VARA: New Aircraft and Infrastructure
This award comes at a pivotal time for VARA. As the regional subsidiary of Virgin Australia, the carrier is currently embarking on a period of significant growth and development. The airline is currently poised to open a brand-new, state-of-the-art hangar at Perth Airport. The investment in infrastructure will further enhance its operational capabilities.
Furthermore, VARA is welcoming brand-new Embraer E190-E2 aircraft to its fleet. These modern, fuel-efficient aircraft will not only enhance the passenger experience but also contribute to the airline’s environmental sustainability efforts.
The introduction of these new aircraft signals a clear commitment to modernizing the fleet. It will ensure VARA’s continued competitiveness in the regional aviation market.
Conclusion
The combination of these developments – the new hangar, the arrival of the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, and the World’s Best Regional Airline award – positions VARA for continued success and strengthens its position as a leading regional airline.
Virgin Australia Regional Airlines is a key player in connecting remote communities, and supporting economic activity in Western Australia. Its focus on service, reliability, and innovation has clearly resonated with both passengers and industry experts. The regional carrier is steadily solidifying its place as a world-class regional airline.
