Virgin Australia has announced it will withdraw its services between Australia and Hong Kong following a comprehensive review of the route. The Hong Kong market has remained challenging for the airline and demand has continued to decline following ongoing civil unrest. These factors, combined with growing uncertainty around the recent coronavirus outbreak, have led to the decision to cease operating services.

Virgin Australia previously announced the suspension of its Melbourne-Hong Kong services in November 2019, which is effective from February 11, 2020. The Sydney-Hong Kong service will cease operating from March 2, 2020.

Guests booked to travel on services between Sydney and Hong Kong from March 2, 2020 onwards, will be contacted by Virgin Australia via email, or by their travel provider to provide alternative arrangements.
