VIRGIN AMERICA GETS TWO GATES AT DALLAS LOVE FIELD
With help from Washington, Virgin America is getting two airport gates at Dallas Love Field. The airline beat out Southwest Airlines Co. and Delta Air Lines Inc., which also coveted the gates. Dallas City Manager A.C. Gonzalez announced the decision Monday. He suggested that he had no choice after the U.S. Justice Department required American Airlines to sublease the gates at the city-owned airport near downtown to Virgin America. “Contrary to reports, this was not a competition,” Gonzalez said. Eventually, Southwest will control 16 gates at the airport while Virgin and United Airlines will get two each.
