Virgin America plans new service to Canada

Virgin America will file an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) seeking authority to fly from the United States to Canada. If approved, this would become the airline’s first international destination. As set forth in the application, Virgin America, subject to receipt of all operating authority, plans to begin service as early as June 2010. The airline announced its intent to serve Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) with daily flights from both LAX and SFO.
