Pending U.S. Department of Transportation final approval, looks like Virgin will fly on this side of the pond from home base in San Francisco. Foreign airlines seeking fly rights within the U.S. must show that U.S. operations are controlled and majority owned by U.S. citizens. You can read the DOT’s documents in the Virgin case by looking it up at http://dms.dot.gov under docket OST-2005-23307.
