    VIRGIN Australia Holdings Ltd said on Wednesday it was considering going private as it swung to profitability in the first quarter from a loss a year ago and forecast a continued improvement in the second and third quarter.

    Australia's second-biggest airline is about 90 per cent-owned by Singapore Airlines Ltd, Etihad Airways, Virgin Group, HNA Aviation and China's Nanshan Group, all of which have representatives on the board.
