Virgin Group has come under fire after they announced that they will be hiring an arm of Singapore Airlines to maintain V Australia’s new B777 fleet.

Currently, no Australian airline operates the new Boeing 777s and as such there are no Australian-based organisations ready to deal with the maintenance and servicing of the jets.

“We are pleased to have engaged SIA Engineering Company to provide a comprehensive range of engineering support for our new V Australia fleet of B777-300ERs,” said Brett Godfrey, Virgin Blue Group CEO, in an official statement.
