Hilarious calls for BUNNINGS to take over collapsed airline Virgin Australia - Daily Mail

Hilarious calls for BUNNINGS to take over collapsed airline Virgin Australia - complete with inflight sausage sizzles

  • Airline Virgin Australia entered into voluntary administration on Tuesday 
  • Social media users have joked that Bunnings should take over the aircrafts 
  • Many online users focused on the possibilities of the Bunnings in-flight meal

Social media users have joined in the speculation about who will take over broke airline Virgin Australia, with some wondering how air travel might change if hardware giant Bunnings was the successful bidder.

One Facebook user even mocked up images of what the planes would look like in Bunnings' green livery, with the logo on the tail. 

Social media users jokingly suggested that Bunnings Warehouse take over the Virgin Australian brand

'They would beat anyone's price by ten per cent. That's cheap flying,' one social media user said. 

'They will check your bags when you get off,' another said,' making reference to security measures in stores.

'If I could take my dog on board I would definitely fly with them,' another said.

However many focused on changes to the meals. 

'An inflight snag-a-licious is actually a fantastic idea,' one person said.

Another joked: 'Since it'll be in air space, onions on top please.'

The jokes came after Virgin Australia entered voluntary administration on Tuesday.

The company's foreign owners - Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airlines, Richard Branson's Virgin group and two Chinese conglomerates - refused to put any more funding into the Australian carrier.

The airline, which was already struggling before coronavirus travel bans decimated revenues, will be managed by Deloitte accountants while it restructures and looks for a buyer.

Administrator Vaughan Strawbridge said there were no plans for redundancies and that workers will still be paid their wages, including those on the government's JobKeeper scheme.

Raising hopes that the airline will be bought quickly, he said there were 'in excess of ten companies with a keen interest in being part of the restructuring'. Private equity firm BGH Capital is thought to be among them.

But there are fears the restructure will involve scrapping less profitable routes, particularly to regional areas, leaving Qantas as the only provider and able to increase fare prices due to lack of competition.

In an emotional press conference at Sydney Airport today, tearful Virgin employees begged for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to save their jobs after the government said it would not buy a stake in the company or give it a $1.4billion loan.
