Virgin America, a 'new generation' low-fare airline, intends to launch scheduled domestic airline service between San Francisco and New York City later this year, upon DOT approval. U.S.-owned and operated, Virgin America is based at San Francisco International Airport and has placed firm orders for 31 Airbus A320 aircraft.
Within nine months of operation, Virgin America plans to serve Washington, DC (Dulles), Los Angeles (LAX), San Diego and Las Vegas, and expects to serve as many as 10 cities within a year of operation and up to 30 cities within five years of service.
