Virgin America causing massive scare among incumbent US Airlines
Media Release
Aug. 15, 2006

Start-up U.S. air carrier Virgin America Inc. has not flown a plane or even gotten a license to operate, but it is already creating turbulence in the U.S. airline industry.

Incumbent carriers, led by Continental Airlines Inc., have lobbied hard to keep Virgin America from getting off the ground.

Those efforts, which have slowed Virgin America's efforts to gain U.S. government approval to start flying, show how intense competition is in the U.S. airline industry and how fragile its recent recovery may be.
