Fasten your seatbelt and switch your phone to airplane mode, because host Kellie Riordan is taking you for a ride into Virgin Australia’s headquarters during the worst crisis in aviation history. 

CEO Paul Scurrah springs into action as COVID-19 hits, the international borders slam shut, and then days later, domestic flights are grounded too. 

The airline loses access to $6 billion in revenue almost overnight, prompting crisis meetings, staff redundancies and meetings with administrators. 

But just as he shepherds the company out of administration and to a new buyer... another huge curveball is en route for Paul Scurrah. Is he in for more turbulence?
