Airlines/Australia

Is Virgin Australia safe?

No fatal accidents in its history. Australia's second-largest carrier.

A modelled estimate and protected opinion, not a factual safety verdict — informational only, not safety or travel advice, provided as-is. See our terms & disclaimer.

Operator safety tier

Elite

Modelled fatal-accident risk on the order of 1 in 10 million flights.

A model estimate from validated signals (the dominant factor in a flight's safety), not a measurement of this airline's own flight history. IOSA-registered; no fatal accident on record; rating tempered, too little flight record yet to earn a top rating (an absence of accidents is not yet proof of safety). Full methodology.

Safety signals

IOSA registeredYes
EU air-safety banNot banned
Last fatal accidentNone on record

An absence of recorded fatal accidents is not itself proof of safety — it can also mean limited history.
