Virgin America Plans Expansion of Service out of Dallas
Virgin America announced that it plans to expand and increase its service out of Dallas. The airline hopes to secure two gates that American Airlines is losing at Dallas’ Love Field, and if successful, will move its current operations from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to Dallas Love Field this October.

Brilliant move to capture business flyers from downtown Dallas. Competes with both American and Southwest for the full fare corporate traveler.
Talk about crashing the party! SWA is all about celebrating the end of the Wright Amendment around that time, and starting their first unrestricted flights in October.. Lots of festivities planned for that...
And at the same time, VRD announces that they'd relocate to DAL and start their own service right as SWA starts their party.
Fair competition, but brilliant move on VRD's part.

Could this, along with all the other announcements that have been made for Post Wright service, be the start of what the Wright Amendment was designed to keep from happening in the 1st place. It was put in place to give DFW a leg up. Are we going to see a repeat of DCA-IAD after a few years. If I could get the same thing out of DAL that I could DFW, ain't no way I'd drive all the way out there and in looking, you will find that most O&D traffic for DFW comes out of Dallas anyway. It will all be interesting.
What happened between DCA & IAD? Back in the day did BWI have a lot of international flights?
Exactly!
Who has paid for all the remodel at DAL though? was it SWA or has the city picked up that tab?
