Virgin America plans to reduce capacity in the fall. "These temporary schedule reductions and strategic additions better reflect the industry landscape we anticipate," Virgin America CEO David Cush said. "As a small, growing carrier, we can trim schedules from less profitable, off-peak flights and add limited capacity on high-demand routes." Jun 18, 2008
Virgin America said yesterday that it will reduce fourth-quarter capacity by 10% compared to previous projections by adding flights on select high-demand routes while reducing capacity on off-peak flights this fall, citing seasonal demand changes and high fuel prices. The carrier said plans are still on for the fall launch of daily New York JFK-Las Vegas flights as well as flights from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Chicago O'Hare. Virgin America insisted that speculation that the startup, which began operations in August 2007, could be in trouble owing to the current economy is unfounded. Jun 18, 2008
