Tigerair Australia was forced to suspend its services to Denpasar, Indonesia, following a number of administrative and regulatory changes implemented by the Indonesian Directorate general of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The DGCA claim that Tigerair sold one-way tickets to the general public which violated its ticketing and licensing arrangements. Tigerair asserted it has not breached any regulations and all tickets sales have complied with the requirements of its current licence. Flights were suspended on the 11th of January, however a number of ferry flights have been permitted to enter Indonesia to return citizens back to Australia. Tigerair performed a number of regular scheduled flights to the popular tourist destination on behalf of its parent, Virgin Australia, utilising wet-leased Boeing 737 aircraft.

The underwater search for the wreckage of Malaysian Airlines flight MH-370, which disappeared over the Indian Ocean in March 2014, has been officially suspended. The search effort, spearheaded by Australian authorities, completed a search of over 120,000 square kilometres of seafloor, however has failed to locate the Boeing 777 aircraft. Whilst some debris parts confirmed to have belonged to a Boeing 777 type aircraft, have been discovered along the coast of a number of eastern African nations, the majority of the aircraft still remains missing. Authorities reportedly stated that the search will resume only if new and compelling evidence is discovered.

All Australian Virgin-branded airlines (With the exception of Virgin Australia Regional Airlines) originally operated under the IATA Code; DJ. This flight code has since ceased and now each airline division operate under differing IATA and ICAO codes; Virgin Australia - VA/VOZ, Virgin Australia International - VA/VAU, Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (Previously Skywest Airlines) - XR/OZW. These airlines have now been differentiated within the Airline Risk Calculator and all feature their individual risk ratings.
Since December 2011, all operations of the former airlines Virgin Blue, Pacific Blue, and VAustralia were amalgamated under the 'Virgin Australia' branding and livery. Mainline carrier Virgin Australia developed a specific branch for most of its international destinations previously served by VAustralia, referred to as Virgin Australia International. These two operational divisions are considered separate as the two airlines each have an allocated fleet and specific destinations it serves, despite operating under the IATA code of VA.
Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (Formerly known as Skywest Airlines) is the small regional branch Virgin Australia. The airline was previously named "Skywest Airlines" and commenced operations in 1980. In 2011, Skywest committed to a 10 year alliance with fellow Australian carrier; Virgin Australia. In 2013, Virgin Australia purchased the ownership rights to Skywest Airlines and subsequently renamed it to "Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA)". As a result of this acquisition, Skywest became a part of the Australian Virgin brand, however continued to operate under its own Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and retained its existing management structure. Virgin Australia and Virgin Australia International are categorised as low risk airlines with scores of 7.68 and 7.25 respectively. VARA however, is classified as mid-risk due to its limited operational capability and its aging fleet of aircraft.
