Richard Branson said he’s in talks with as many as three potential suitors for Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd. and that he’s likely to reach a decision on a partnership sometime in the next quarter.

“Discussions with two or three parties are progressing,” Branson said last night in an interview in Chicago. “Within the next two or three months we should be clear on whether there’s an alliance we’re happy with or not.”
