Virgin America has won Business Traveler magazine’s 2008 award for “Best Low Cost Airline in North America” in publication's annual survey.
“We’re honoured to be recognised as the top low-fare carrier choice by the most selective and experienced travellers,” remarked Virgin America president and CEO David Cush. “Virgin America offers attractive fares and next generation amenities that appeal to today’s business travellers. With inflight internet fleetwide by Spring 2009, we’re continuing to innovate and deliver a flight experience that keeps business travellers comfortable, entertained, and connected to their work and lives from 35,000 feet.”
The Business Traveler “Best in Business Travel Awards” are based on a survey of 4,000 randomly selected subscribers who were given open-ended questions about the overall quality and service provided by low-fare airlines operating in North America.
