The Aviation sector has been hit hard due to pandemic and the
company that has been not able to handle this risk is VIRGIN
AUSTRALIA AIRLINES. It is the world's weakest airlines which
couldn't secure funds before the succumb to the corona virus.
Recommendations-
-The company should find a buyer who can either restructure or
invest money into the company so that it can revive first.
-The company should not be owned by a committee as there are four
aviation groups having 205 stake each. The management should be in
the hands of the Virgin in order to make better decision for
contingencies.
-The company should always ensure some financial assets which are
liquid in order to avoid last moment disappointments of credit from
government authorities or other companies.
-Analysis of proper cost structure and making efforts to reduce
that and keeping it under control.
-Also always maintaining reserves for contingencies.
