Already a subscriber?Virgin Australia chief executive Jayne Hrdlicka says the airline is ready to list on the ASX as soon as financial markets reopen, as she prepares to hand over the top job and the task of convincing fund managers to buy-in.
“That’s a matter for our shareholders . But I would say that part of the challenge of Virgin Australia had in the past was a lot of complexity on its register. We have learned from every element of our past to ensure that we don’t make those same mistakes twice,” Ms Hrdlicka said.
