    VIRGIN Australia Holdings' largest shareholder said it's considering exiting the airline, days after the Australian carrier tapped its biggest investors for fresh funds.

    Air New Zealand, which owns a 25.89-per cent stake in Virgin Australia worth about A$343 million (S$356 million) as at Tuesday's closing price, said it will sell some or all of its shares, according to a statement to the stock exchange on Wednesday.
