Delta Gets OK on Virgin Atlantic Deal: The airline announced a favorable ruling by the Justice Department on its proposal to enter new markets by purchasing space aboard Virgin Atlantic Airways flights between the United States and Britain. The arrangement would introduce service by a third U.S. carrier to London’s Heathrow Airport, a key international gateway, and enable Delta to fill a major void in its transatlantic operations. The British government has approved the deal.
