Virgin Blue looks at Asian market

AFP , SINGAPORE

Virgin Blue wants to spread its wings to Asia but the successful Australian discount airline vows not to rush into any deals just to catch up with rival Qantas' regional budget carrier venture.

"We do want to have a look in this part of the world," chief executive Brett Godfrey said on the sidelines of last week's International Air Transport Association (IATA) meeting in Singapore.

Nothing firm has been agreed with any partner but Godfrey is confident that Virgin Blue, founded by flamboyant British entrepreneur Richard Branson, will be able to find a suitable ally in the next few years.
