The Port of Seattle says Virgin America's new routes will begin on March 18, 2008 with three daily nonstop flights between Seattle and San Francisco International Airport.

On April 8, 2008, three daily nonstop flights will begin between Seattle and Los Angeles International Airport. A fourth daily flight between Seattle and L.A. is scheduled to begin on May 11, 2008.

"The addition of Virgin America to Sea-Tac Airport will help further economic development and tourism for the Seattle region and the state," said Port of Seattle Commission President John Creighton.

Virgin America is the fourth new airline to announce service to Sea-Tac in 2007; earlier this year, Air France started nonstop service to Paris, AeroMexico started nonstop service to Mexico City, and Lufthansa announced nonstop service to Frankfurt. And, earlier this week, Northwest Airlines announced new nonstop service to London.
