Virgin America loses $100 million in 2012, but its seat revenues are up

Skift Take

The carrier is lost less in 2011 and saw growth at the end of the year it hopes will carry over into 2012.

Skift

The carrier reported a full-year net loss of $100.4 million, larger than the $68.7 million loss in 2010. Net margin was -9.7%, a bit worse than the -9.5% result in 2010. Not good.

But the results for the fourth quarter, however, had some decent signs.
