Virgin America Inc. (VA) was a United States-based airline that was founded in 2004 and began operations in 2007. The airline was headquartered in Burlingame, California and was known for its innovative approach to in-flight entertainment, customer service, and onboard amenities.
VA primarily operated flights on major routes throughout the United States, with additional service to Mexico and Canada. The airline had a modern fleet of Airbus aircraft and offered a range of cabin classes, including economy, premium economy, and first class.
In 2018, VA was acquired by Alaska Airlines and subsequently merged into the Alaska Airlines brand. As a result, the VA stock is no longer publicly traded.
Prior to the acquisition, investors considering VA would have evaluated the company's financial performance, competitive positioning, and growth prospects within the highly competitive airline industry. They would have also assessed the impact of external factors such as fuel costs, regulatory changes, and shifts in consumer demand.
