Virgin America has completed the last formal step in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) airline certification review, that of flight proving runs.
The airline said that as a result Virgin America now awaits approval from the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) before launching operations.
As part of any new airline's regulatory review process the FAA performs a comprehensive safety review and first examines all aspects of a new carrier's safety programmes, operations manuals, training procedures, and personnel qualifications.
Virgin America is reportedly the first new airline to be certified through the FAA's new Air Transportation and Oversight System (ATOS) compliant certification procedures.
