Virgin America announced (10-Dec-08) that it has moved to its new location at Los Angeles International Airport’s (LAX) Terminal 3. Virgin America partnered with the airport and Los Angeles-based architects Rivers & Christian (with Lundberg Design of San Francisco) to create a modern new ticket counter.
Virgin America President and CEO David Cush said, “As a California-based carrier known for bringing style back to domestic flying, it was a pleasure to partner with a forward-looking airport and design team to reinvent the typical domestic airport experience — especially as we continue to grow our footprint at LAX. Our new face at LAX is a nod to the airport’s glamorous past, with all of the upscale, tech-savvy amenities that today’s travelers expect.”
Executive Director of Los Angeles World Airports Gina Marie Lindsey said, “We’re committed to making forward-looking investments that will modernize and expand one of the world’s busiest airports. By partnering with Virgin America to create a seamless, next generation gateway for travelers to and from LAX, we’re connecting Virgin’s guests to the airport’s stylish past and its bright and growing future.”
Virgin America has welcomed more than 1.2 million travelers through LAX since its Aug-07 launch, and continues to expand in Los Angeles, most recently with the announcement of service from LAX to Boston Logan International Airport beginning on 12-Feb-09.
