Where Will Virgin America Hub?

[Ch. 12]

Isn't it interesting that they picked the 2 cities with the highest cost of living in the country as finalists?

I suppose if you can afford to live in high-cost cities, you can afford to pay slightly more for air travel, right?

Branson is European and they are always fascinated with NY and SF.

Read an article where it said VUSA chose SFO over OAK due to earnings potential. Kind of a silly statement when you consider OAK has Jetblue and SWA and no gate availability for a Hub. Just my thoughts.......

yea i read it... also heard many flights will be out of NYC area..dont know yet which airport.... GOOO JET SET GOOOOOO

 

[coolflyingfool]

Can JFK handle being a hub for VUSA with Jetblue, American, and Delta having a presence there and they would most likely respond with more flights to compete. Just wondering......

According to Wikipedia Virgin America's headquarters will be in New York and San Francisco or Burlingame, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Main hub will be at San Francisco International Airport. It will compete against Alaska Airlines, and United Airlines, and minimal competition with Southwest Airlines.

We need a choice called "Nowhere" in this poll.

What will Virgin America's first hub be?

Rumor has it that Virgin is interested in Comair. San Francisco would be a hub.
