Prior to 2016, Virgin
America was consistently rated as one of the top U.S. airlines. It
served 20 destinations out of its main hub in San Francisco. Known for
its leather seats, cocktail-lounge-style lighting, on board Wi-Fi,
in-seat power outlets for electronics devices, full-service meals, and
spacious legroom, the key competitive issue the company has been facing
is that it is a niche player in a much larger industry where low-cost
carriers such as Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue are putting constant
pressure on prices and crowding out routes with multiple flights a day.
After reviewing the full case, please answer the following questions.
What was Virgin America’s segmentation strategy? Whom did it serve?
Regarding its core segment, what did Virgin America offer its customers?
