Virgin America announced it is bringing its service to Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) as of December 15, with tickets on sale now for its new nonstop seasonal flights from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to PSP and same-plane through-flights from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to PSP.
According to a release, known for its reputation as "Hollywood's Playground," PSP will be the sixteenth destination in the airline's network.
"As the only California-based airline, we're pleased to launch seasonal service to one of our state's most popular getaway spots Palm Springs and the surrounding desert resort cities," said David Cush, President and CEO of Virgin America. "Our expansion to the region will inject some much-needed competition into the air travel market. With low fares and a quality of service that is unrivalled in the domestic skies, we hope our new flights will be a welcome breath of fresh air for Bay Area and New York travelers looking for an affordable escape to the desert oasis this winter. The destination also allows us to add seasonal capacity from our California base, as we continue to grow our network."
"Virgin America is a world class brand and Palm Springs is a world class destination and we are thrilled to join together and provide this new air service at Palm Springs International Airport," said Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet.
