Virgin Australia Prioritizes Profits Over Climate, Offering Excessive Travel Incentives Amid Climate Crisis

In an age where businesses should be leading the charge against climate change, Virgin Australia has instead unveiled a promotion blatantly encouraging increased air travel. From 28 January to 31 March 2025, Virgin Australia is tempting businesses with the prospect of earning 50,000 bonus points for booking and flying six or more eligible flights. This initiative, advertised as beneficial for business travelers, blatantly disregards the urgent need for reducing carbon footprints in the face of our global climate emergency. While the offer also allows for the accumulation of status credit, the question remains: at what cost to our planet?
