Yeah, Virgin is a good one, never thought of it.
I Was trying to think why Delta is called Delta for. If your reason is correct, then I see why, which makes it creative.

Virgin Atlantic, People Express and Jetblue are all very creative airline names.

I've always been partial to Goa Way of India and Air Wingless of Australia. Both short lived carriers though.
What is it with all the "is there a possibilty airline X will.." threads? The answer it'll is possible.

Geographical names are okay I guess, but I prefer funkier names like:
Gandalf
VistaJet (defunct)
Volare
Azteca
Vanguard
Aloha
Horizon
PeoplExpress
Atlas
Aeropostal
etc...

I would agree with most of the names pickef up there. All but oine that is.
Virgin Atlantic. Doesnt seem to be too creative to me, they only called it that to make it clear who it belonged to, in a way its creative, with the Atlantic part et all, but the Virgin part was ismply to identify the brand as belonging to a very rich man and his empire.

JetBlue. I don't particularly like the name but it's pretty damn creative. First time I heard it I just couldn't put it together with an airline name.
Its better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than be in the air wishing you were on the ground. Fly safe!

Some creative names I can think of:
WestJet - Damn, someone here beat me to it - I'm a Western Canadian!
Qantas - That's Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Service, for those who want to know what the hell "QANTAS" means. And no, Qantas is NEVER spelled with a "u".
Compass - a now defunct Australian discount carrier which used MD-80s and A300's.
Lan Chile - The "Lan" actually stands for Linea Aera Nacional.
Nationair - I know it was a bad airline, but the name sounds creative.
Braathens SAFE - The "SAFE" must be a Norwegian acronym, but it's not a bad way to project an image in English!
