The US department of transportation (DOT) ruled on Dec 27th that the UK is a security risk and therefore British owned Virgin America Airlines is not allowed to fly within the US between San Francisco and New York. How flights originating in the US to other US destinations in the US posed security risks to the US was of course not explained (probably because the idea is ridiculous). They did not actually say 'security risk' but what else could a law requiring 75% US ownership to fly within the US mean? The expressed concern was over 'foreign ownership'.Bloomberg picked up the story in Virgin America's Bid to Start Flights Denied by U. S.
