Virgin Australia is reviewing its options after the Samoa Government's decision to end their decade long joint venture.
In a statement, Virgin Australia confirmed the Virgin Samoa joint venture will not continue after the 12th of November this year.
Samoa's Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi said in his radio address that an extension of the joint venture licence would give Virgin Blue enough time to prepare to leave.
RNZI reports there are a few reasons for ending it, including re-establishing the national carrier, Polynesian Airlines.
Tuilaepa told the media on his radio programme about complaints of increase in fares and the airline’s services.
Virgin Australia said it would provide an update on operations and timing in due course and any affected travellers would be contacted to discuss their options.
