Virgin America Inc., the low-fare airline partly owned by U.K. billionaire Richard Branson, plans to add flights to Chicago, Atlanta and Houston next year if it can secure gates in those U.S. cities.

Discussions with Chicago over gates at O’Hare airport, the nation’s second-busiest, have “moved forward” and may be resolved by year’s end, David Cush, chief executive officer of Virgin America, said yesterday in a telephone interview.
