Etihad Airways chief James Hogan says the carrier is in Australia for the "long-term game" amid speculation that it was behind a flurry of Virgin share purchases this week.
Hogan confirmed the Abu Dhabi-based carrier was "buying on the market at the moment" next winning Australian government approval to increase its 10 % stake in Virgin Australia to 19.9 %.
"We are in this for the long-term game, so there is no rush," Hogan said in an interview with The Australian newspaper Wednesday.
