Discount Airfares Virgin America plans to fly 17 Airbus jetliners in the U.S. within a year and employ approximately 2,000 workers nationwide.

Air Fares In the US, major airlines have been struggling with high fuel costs and labor issues, while discount carriers here, like Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU) and AiTran Holdings (NYSE: AAI), are prospering.

Travel Insurance Data by Back Aviation Solutions shows that discount airlines have 29 percent of the seats while in 2000 they only had 19 percent. The gain supports Branson's move into the US airline market in a big way and as long as Virgin Airlines faces lower jet fuel costs the only other obstacle is competition itself.
