(Reuters) - Virgin America, the U.S. carrier in which Richard Branson's Virgin Group has a minority stake, has appointed Barclays and Deutsche Bank to lead an initial public offering, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the situation. The carrier interviewed half a dozen banks last month as it prepares for an IPO that could come as soon as the second half of this year, the FT report said. Virgin America has been growing its network of routes and in December bought 12 takeoff and landing slots at New York's LaGuardia Airport that American Airlines gave up in return for approval of its merger with US Airways Group. The company, which appointed Intel Corp (INTC) Chief Financial Officer Stacy Smith to its board last month, posted a net income of $33.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, compared with a loss of $12.6 million a year earlier.
