Virgin Blue Airplane Models has placed orders with Boeing to purchase six Boeing 777-300ER Airplane Models for use on international routes.Pending delivery of the six aircraft, V Australia leased its first Boeing 777-300ER from the International Lease Finance Corporation; named Didgeree Blue, it was delivered to V Australia in Seattle at Boeing's headquarters on 26 January 2009. On 9 February Didgeree Blue touched down at Sydney Kingsford-Smith Airport after flying from Seattle via Los Angeles where it was launched to the U.S press by Richard Branson and Australian celebrities Julian McMahon and Holly Valance. V Australia is the second of three airlines to fly the Boeing 777 on the transpacific route between Australia and North America. Air Canada started flying daily flights with the Boeing 777 Airplane Models one year earlier, and Delta Air Lines began Boeing 777 Models services to Sydney from Los Angeles in mid-2009.
