RICHARD BRANSON plans to launch an American low-cost airline. He has the backing of Senator John McCain.
"Branson's Virgin group has already been approached by a number of American cities, including Chicago, New York and Washington, which have offered him use of their airports as hubs for his planned carrier."
"Branson is calling on the British government to push America quickly towards an "open-skies" agreement as current regulations prevent him from owning a domestic American airline."
