Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA) has once again been crowned World’s Best Regional Airline by AirlineRatings.com, marking its second consecutive year receiving this prestigious award.

The recognition underscores VARA’s exceptional service, reliability, and customer experience, reinforcing its role as a leading force in Australian regional aviation.

The annual award by AirlineRatings.com, a globally recognized airline safety and product rating website, assesses passenger comfort, feedback, and product consistency across an airline’s entire fleet and network.

VARA’s ability to maintain top-tier service standards has placed it ahead of global competitors in the regional airline category.

Strengthening WA’s Regional Aviation Sector

VARA, headquartered in Western Australia, plays a vital role in connecting regional communities and supporting the Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) workforce, which is crucial to the state’s mining and resource industries.

The airline’s back-to-back win highlights its commitment to regional connectivity and operational excellence.

Nathan Miller, Executive General Manager of VARA, expressed pride in the airline’s achievement, attributing the success to the dedication of its Western Australia-based team.

“Virgin Australia Regional Airlines continues to go from strength to strength, and I am particularly proud to see our WA-based operation recognised for the second year in a row as the World’s Best Regional Airline,” Miller said.

He added that VARA has undergone significant transformation and investment in recent years, enhancing its service offerings and improving its operational efficiency to better serve regional travelers.

Industry Recognition for Service Excellence

Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings.com, praised VARA for its exceptional passenger experience, reliability, and customer-focused service.

“VARA has consistently delivered an outstanding travel experience, combining efficiency and customer focus to meet the needs of regional and FIFO travellers,” Petersen stated.

The airline’s ability to provide seamless travel experiences for FIFO workers, regional passengers, and corporate travelers has solidified its position as a top-tier regional carrier.

Future Growth & Expansion Plans

VARA is preparing for further expansion, with plans to open a brand-new hangar at Perth Airport.

Additionally, the airline is set to welcome new Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, enhancing its fleet capacity and fuel efficiency.

These developments align with the Australian Government’s commitment to regional aviation growth, as outlined in the Regional Aviation Policy Statement by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Communications. This initiative supports investment in regional airports, airline infrastructure, and improved air services.

By reinforcing its fleet capabilities and operational base, VARA is positioning itself for continued success in Western Australia’s competitive regional aviation market.

With another major industry accolade under its belt, VARA is set to remain a dominant force in regional air travel, ensuring passengers experience unmatched service, efficiency, and reliability for years to come.
