Codeshare and interline agreements Currently, Virgin Australia has agreements with airlines including United Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways (Etihad Airways previously), and Air Canada.
It was announced on 26 August 2010 that Virgin Australia had signed a codeshare and interline agreement with Etihad Airways, giving Virgin passengers access to 65 destinations in Europe and the Middle East.
Virgin America and Virgin Australia International Airlines shared terminal facilities at Los Angeles International Airport's Terminal 3, however, only the check-in desks are located there, both inbound and outbound Virgin Australia flights arrive and depart from the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
United Airlines and Virgin Australia announced on 15 December 2021 that beginning in April 2022, a new partnership between the two would see the longer than a decade partnership with Delta Air Lines be scrapped.
On 11 December 2024, Qatar Airways announced that passengers can begin booking air tickets for direct routes to Doha from Sydney, Brisbane and Perth on behalf of Virgin Australia for travels commencing June 2025 onwards. This collaboration will also see Melbourne to be added in the mix later the same year. This deal brought about the announced end of the Virgin Australia an Etihad Airways Partnership - due to end on the 1st of June 2025.
