In a highly significant move, V Australia, the newest international airline of Australia has announced that it will introduce non-stop direct flights connecting Los Angeles and Brisbane. Notably, Brisbane is renowned as the Queensland Australia. The present move by the airline will give American travelers direct access to the most popular sunshine state of Australia. Most interestingly, Queensland is home to a range of natural wonders including The Great Barrier Reef and the heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest.

The Los Angeles-Brisbane route is the second route operated by the airline with the inaugural flight on this route scheduled to take off on 15th December 2008. In this route, the airline will operate three flights a week commencing from 1st March 2009, employing Boeing 777-300 aircraft configured to a three-class cabin providing International Business Class, International Premium Economy Class and International Economy class. Interestingly, only one another airline offers its flights in this route, giving way to a stiff competition between these two companies.

V Australia Executive General Manager, Scott Swift observed, "We are excited to be linking the City of LA directly with Brisbane city, the second Australian destination to be added to the V Australia network. This will be tremendous for US travelers keen to experience tropical Queensland. Importantly, this new flight will also provide another direct link from Australia to Los Angeles, equating to approximately 1000 additional seats per week in the market from Brisbane alone, which will increase visitors to North America and help to boost business and tourism opportunities."
