Virgin America Sees Chicago O'Hare, Atlanta Flights Next Year
By Mary Jane Credeur - Nov 9, 2010
...Discussions with Chicago over gates at O’Hare airport, the nation’s second-busiest, have “moved forward” and may be resolved by year’s end, David Cush, chief executive officer of Virgin America, said yesterday in a telephone interview.
Virgin America wants to
lease two gates in O’Hare’s Concourse L inside Terminal 3 that are now controlled by Delta Air Lines Inc., he said. The closely held carrier, based in Burlingame, California, has been trying to enter O’Hare for more than three years.
“If we can make progress in the next 60 days, I think you’ll see Virgin America in Chicago in April,” Cush said. “The city is making good progress in taking control of that concourse. We wish them success because we want in.”
