NOTICE OF ADDITIONAL CODE-SHARING AND WAIVER REQUEST 

Further to the blanket statement of authorization granted in the above-captioned docket, 

Virgin America Inc. ("Virgin America") hereby notifies the Department that, on or after 

February 1, 2014, Virgin America intends to display the "VA" designator code of Virgin 

Australia International Airlines Pty Ltd. ("Virgin Australia") on flights operated by Virgin 

America between Los Angeles, California ("LAX") and Las Vegas, Nevada ("LAS"), in 

conjunction with Virgin Australia's scheduled Australia-U.S. services in foreign air 

transportation (either non-stop or via third-country intermediate points). 

To the extent necessary, Virgin America requests a waiver of the 30-day notice condition 

imposed under the existing statement of authorization, in order to institute the proposed codeshare service concurrent with its forthcoming filing of schedule changes. Consistent with prior 

waivers granted by the Department under similar circumstances, 1 Virgin America will poll the 

U.S. carrier representatives served with this notice and waiver request and advise the Department 

of the polling results. 

1 See Department Action on Waiver Application in Docket DOT-OST-2000-7495 (Oct. 22, 2008) (granting waiver 

request of Continental Airlines, Inc. and Emirates to initiate additional code-share services, effective 11 days 

following the filing of their waiver request).
