The California-based airline that reinvented air travel, Virgin America, is hoping to get government approval to serve Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Less than a week ago, Virgin America was to file an application to serve O’Hare under the existing demand management rules of the airport.
PRNewswire reports that Virgin America is the best financed new airline in U.S. history that plans to expand its services to up to 30 new cities within the first five years. The company currently flies to seven cities with numerous daily flights — San Francisco to Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, Washington, Las Vegas, and Seattle (SEA) as well as Los Angeles to New York, Washington and Seattle.
The San Francisco-based carrier offers guests low fares and a host of fun, inventive features aimed at making flying good again, including mood lighting, custom-designed leather seats and the most advanced in-flight entertainment system in the U.S. today. Virgin America’s Red(TM) In-flight Entertainment is a seatback 9-inch video touch-screen that offers travelers over 25 on-demand movies, live TV, a food ordering system, the ability to create a play list from over 3,000 MP3s, videogames, interactive Google Maps and even a seat-to-seat chat feature.
NewsBlaze.com quotes Virgin America President and Chief Executive Officer David Cush commenting on the importance of serving Chicago.
“Chicago is one of the nation’s top travel markets, a world-class city and a perfect fit for our innovative, low-fare service. We want to bring Chicago travelers a better choice, with attractive fares and brand new planes that offer a unique, upscale flying experience — from leather seats to individual video touch-screens at every seatback.”
