The 2003 Avalon International Airshow is over for yet another two years. The event saw a variety of aircraft from all over the globe, which came together, in order to celebrate the centenary of sustained powered flight.

Avalon saw many businesses and organisations across Australia and the world come together to showcase their products and services to prospective buyers in other parts of the aviation industry.

Along with these trade days, there were three days open to the public, in which acrobatic aerial maneuvers were shown to the crowds below. It featured many aircraft, including a replica of the Wright Flyer to today's current Jet aircraft.

The show attracted approximately 250 000 people, including families and enthusiasts who were given a show which they will never forget.

AUSTRALIA - VIRGIN BLUE'S GOING BOEING
$5.4-Billion For up to 50 New Aircraft
Australia's only low fare airline Virgin Blue, has announced it has signed a major contract with US-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes for up to 50 brand new 737 Next Generation aircraft. The order now positions the carrier as one of the world's largest low-fare airlines and also cements Virgin Blue as the operator of the youngest fleet of aircraft in the Asia Pacific region, if not globally.

BIG BUSINESS BREAKTHROUGH FOR VIRGIN BLUE
A major bid to snatch a larger share of Australia's business travel market is being launched by Virgin Blue. The low-cost carrier is challenging Qantas and Regional Express by going in to the lucrative Sydney-Canberra route with a twice-daily service. That route was the only one of the country's top 20 corridors not served by the airline, said CEO Brett Godfrey, who urged the Canberra government to support Virgin. "Until now, the travel policy of most commonwealth departments has been to basically write Qantas an open check," he said. "Taxpayers expect the federal government to take advantage of the same sort of cost savings that true competition is bringing to the private sector." Flights start on April 28.
