Virgin Blue And Etihad Airways Allowed To Ready Abu Dhabi Route

Virgin Blue Holdings gained interim approval Thursday from the Australian antitrust regulator for an alliance with Etihad Airways on flights to Abu Dhabi. The endorsement allows both airlines to prepare for an alliance and promote it to customers before a final ruling, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said. Virgin Blue’s chief executive, John Borghetti, said the carriers would begin sales Oct. 1. The airlines will operate 27 flights a week between Australia and Abu Dhabi, he said.
