It was then bought by private equity firm Bain Capital for $3.5 billion.

Qatar Airways then bought a 25 per cent stake in the airline, in February this year.

Today, 30 per cent of the company was floated on the stock exchange, giving public investors a chance to get on board.

The listing marks the biggest IPO of the year, and today, Emerson, was celebrating with a sale on flights.

That includes $49 one way flights from Sydney to Ballina, $89 flights from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, and $219 tickets from Brisbane to Perth.

Qantas has been dominating on the ASX in Virgin’s absence, with its own shares soaring 70 per cent in the last year 

Virgin shares went from $2.90 to $3.13 today.
