ENCORE: John Borghetti & David Flynn

Interview, Podcast, Travel

ENCORE – One of our most downloaded podcasts of 2017:

JOY  sponsor Virgin Australia @VirginAustralia had some big news to share, hosting their inaugural Melbourne to Hong Kong flight. Shortly before passengers left the departure lounge to board for their Hong Kong bound journey, Saturday Magazine’s David (Macca) McCarthy was joined on the line, from the event, by Virgin Australia CEO John Borghetti and David Flynn @djsflynn from Australian Business Traveler @AusBT.

The pair spoke up the benefit of the new service they say will not only better competition for Australians choosing to fly the route but lift the standard of travel for those who choose to fly Virgin.

Macca also took the opportunity to thank Virgin Australia, for their ongoing support of JOY 94.9 @JOY949 as a sponsor and asked why it was important for companies like Virgin to not only support JOY but also the LGBTI+ community more broadly.

Book your Hong Kong getaway here, read David Flynn’s report on the new service at the Australian Business Traveller here.
