However, the thorough assessment of Virgin Blue documentation comprising some 19 manuals and 5000 pages is continuing. Since August 3 is less than two weeks away, Virgin Blue thinks it would be unfair on those people who have already booked with us to have them risk waiting for approval. The airline has started contacting people today who booked for travel up to mid August to offer them a full refund and future travel compensation on Virgin Blue or alternative travel arrangements. To avoid any further uncertainty for prospective customers, Virgin Blue feels obliged to defer any future reservations until the documentation process has been finalised. With 15 years of experience in the international aviation market, including the launch of three airlines, Virgin fully appreciates the Civil Aviation Safety Authority's exacting standards.

Extractions: (CBS) Although relatively unknown in America, Richard Branson is one of the most recognized faces in Britain. A 49-year-old tycoon and adventurer known to some as "Richard the Lionhearted," he runs a multibillion dollar financial empire called the Virgin Group, which has interests in everything from airlines to record stores. He is a certified British eccentric, a slightly awkward, inarticulate party animal, a shameless promoter, a risk taker and maybe even a hustler. For a time he not only owned the world record for the fastest transatlantic crossing by boat; he now owns the third-largest private corporation in Britain, which he runs without an office, a desk - or a high school education.

Il a deux soeurs, Lindi et Vanessa. La famille est très unie et Richard garde le souvenir d'uneenfance« heureuse et protégée ». Ted et Eve sont tous deux issus de milieux aisés de l'establishment. Ted est fils et petit-fils d'avocats éminents. Eve vient d'une famille qui compte des ecclésiastiques, des agriculteurs et des courtiers en Bourse et dans laquelle les femmes ne sont pas reléguées à la cuisine. Eve a des opinions arrêtées en matière de pédagogie. Elle n'impose pas une discipline de fer, mais elle pousse ses enfants à être autonomes et responsables, à prendre en main leur propre destinée plutôt qu'à s'en remettre aux autres. Un après-midi d'été, alors qu'elle revient avec Richard d'une visite à ses grand-parents, elle ordonne à l'enfant, alors âgé de quatre ans, de descendre de voiture et de rentrer tout seul à pied. La ferme où ils logent n'est pas très éloignée, mais Richard se perd dans la campagne et se retrouve dans une ferme du voisinage.

http://www.fortune.com/fortune/technology/articles/0,15114,389985,00.html

Extractions: Leave it to Richard Branson to figure out how to make money in cellphones. The trick: Don't own a mobile-phone company. Virgin Mobile has done remarkably well as a virtual operatorbuying capacity from partners like T-Mobile and reselling it to subscribers. So why is Branson thinking of buying a Finnish company that would saddle him with all the headaches of owning a network? By using the still-hip Virgin brand, Branson has picked up two million British subscribers in the past three years. Now the country's fifth-largest mobile company, Virgin Mobile earned #3.4 million ($5.3 million) before tax and interest in the quarter ended March 31. It is on track for a small net profit for the year. And it is not wheezing under the huge debts its rivals took on to build networks and buy mobile licenses. All that could change if Branson buys the Finnish mobile unit of Telia, the state-owned Swedish telecom. The company is for sale because Telia wants to merge with Sonera, Finland's market leader, and needs to dump its own holding. But interest has been limp; only Finland's No. 2, Elisa, has put in a bid so far. Analysts say the Finnish operator, with 250,000 customers and a 3G license, is worth between $50 million and $150 million. Branson says Virgin is interested.

Extractions: By Stanley H. Murray Sir Richard Branson, one of the world's most highly visible entrepreneurs, started his first business venture, a national magazine called Student , when he was 16. The next year he established a Student Advisory Center to help young people. Three years later, he founded Virgin as a mail-order retailer and shortly thereafter opened a record shop on London's Oxford Street. During 1972, he built a recording studio in Oxfordshire, England, where the first Virgin artist, Mike Oldfield, recorded "Tubular Bells," which was released in 1973 and went on to sell over five million copies. Branson's next venture was the creation of Virgin Atlantic Airways, founded on the concept of a uniquely competitive and distinctively original high-quality upper class and economy service, which is now the second largest British carrier. In 1997, Virgin took over Britain's two most run-down rail franchises, CrossCountry and West Coast Main Line. They are currently engaged in a two-billion pound sterling fleet replacement program to create one of the most modern, streamlined, high-tech rail networks in the world.

Extractions: Sir Richard Branson expects Virgin Blue, the business of which he is most proud, to net $100 million this year. Sir Richard Branson lives by simple rules: find good people and let them get on with it, and get a good night's sleep. Stephen Dabkowski reports. It might surprise those used to seeing Richard Branson in party mode that what he values most is a good sleep: it's his measure of success and failure. "The only time I've ever had a sleepless night is if I felt I'd failed at something, the feeling that if I'd just tried that little bit harder I might have avoided it (failure)," Sir Richard says. "As long as I've done every single thing I can to attempt to succeed that's all that matters." 'The Virgin boss is such a public figure, at least at media stunts, it adds to the intrigue of whether there are two Bransons: : the public and the private. "Hopefully, what you see is what you get," he says. "In my private life I have a lot of great family and friends and . . . a great life. It's challenging and exciting and sometimes things don't go exactly the way I'd like to go, but I've got really good people around me and we can share the successes and failures together."

Extractions: Virgin - sådan startede det hele... En 17-årig studerende ved navn Richard Branson gik i 1967 op til rektor for at få tilladelse til at starte et studenterblad, et alternativ til det oprindelige. Det skulle bl.a. indeholde kritiske artikler om skoleslaveri, fysisk afstraffelse, tvungen kirkegang, sport, og latin. I januar 1968 udkom det første nummer af "Student", og bladet udkom de følgende år på en masse skoler og gymnasier, hvor "Student" i 1970 var vokset sig stort med 20 ansatte, der alle havde stor kærlighed for musik. Richard Branson havde lagt mærke til den store interesse for musik generelt, og da ingen af de daværende pladeforretninger tilbød plader til nedsat pris (til trods for at regeringen havde ophævet bestemmelserne om minimumspriser), så Richard en mulighed i at etablere et pladedistributionsfirma. Richard og hans folk indså at de stadig var jomfruelige forretningsfolk, så deraf navnet Virgin. Efter med stor succes at have solgt plader fra en flodpram på Themsen i London, åbnede Virgin sin første pladeforretning på Oxford Street i 1971. Det skulle være et alternativ til de eksisterende pladeforretninger, et sted hvor unge kunne mødes, hænge ud og lytte til plader sammen. Og vel at mærke plader der ikke kunne fås i de andre butikker.
