V Australia South Africa flights
V Australia operated flights non-stop from Melbourne to Johannesburg from the 13th March 2010, and announced on 26 August 2010 that it was axing the route from February 2011. The Boeing 777-300ER is inappropriate for a long remote ocean route where the big twin engine jet is restricted, for very very good reasons, to ETOPS 180 minutes rules - which meant the jet had to be flown for as much as three hours longer than a 4-engined jet (red line) to avoid the no-go zones shown in the map below.
