Virgin America colors disappear from the sky

Three years after Alaska Airlines acquired Virgin America, the last remaining Airbus wearing the red and white Virgin livery is being repainted this week in Alaska's cool blues.

Alaska's takeover of Virgin America happened in 2016, but the company kept Virgin operating as a separate brand until about a year ago. Once it decided to combine the two brands, Virgin's 71 Airbus jets had to be repainted in Alaska's colors.
