Throughout the eleven years of its operation, Virgin America supported the LGBTQ community and remained committed to LGBTQ rights and equality. During this time, the carrier served as the official airline sponsor of the San Francisco Pride Parade. Virgin America consistently received top scores in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index, which rates workplaces on their policies and practices related to LGBTQ employees. The airline also supported Bay Area non-profit LGBTQ organizations through San Francisco Pride's Community Partners program. This “Change is in the Air” poster was produced by Virgin America for the San Francisco Pride Parade to champion LGBTQ rights with an ascending Airbus A320 in rainbow colors, symbolizing LGBTQ pride and solidarity. See "VX Forever: The Legacy of Virgin America" on display in the Aviation Museum and Library. The Aviation Museum and Library is located, pre-security, in the International Terminal and is open daily from 10am to 4:30pm. https://bit.ly/vx-forever This image was posted on June 14, 2024.

In early 2004, the Virgin Group announced plans to create a United States-based, low-cost airline initially named "Virgin USA.” Although the public showed strong support for the creation of a new economy airline, the company experienced many complications during the approval process, including rivalries between New York and California cities, labor union disputes, resistance from all major U.S. airlines, and concerns that a Virgin Group airline would primarily be controlled outside of the U.S. After initially being denied approval by the Department of Transportation, a revised application was submitted in January 2007 stipulating that voting shares would be held by an approved trust and only two Virgin Group directors would serve on the airline’s eight-person board.
