Virgin plans Sydney Airport expansion

Virgin Blue has confirmed plans to increase its hangar space at Sydney Airport following increasing demand.

The airline is set to build its first wide-body hangar at the Australian airport by the end of 2012 to enable it to hold four narrow-body aircraft or two narrow-body aircraft and one wide-body plane.

Sydney Airport chief executive Russell Balding welcomed Virgin Blue's decision to increase its presence in a move that could increase options for those taking flights to Australia.
