Virgin Australia posted a selection of photographs, writing: "Flying above the clouds has never looked this good! These incredible cloud formations were seen on board VA714 from Perth to Adelaide."
A spokesperson from the Met office explained to The Telegraph that the cloud is of a type commonly seen in Australian skies, but they are rarely as beautifully distinctive as this example.

He said: "In terms of how they form, it's about air rising, cooling and then descending again. They're most commonly seen in Australia and are most commonly associated with sea breeze condensation. The rising, cooling and falling of atmospheric waves creates the thin strips of clouds. This cloud is quite a graphic demonstration of it."
Clouds such as these are locally known as 'morning glory'.
