A letter from Bob Fornaro, Chairman, CEO, and President
July 2008
Thank you for flying with AirTran Airways.
July is a busy month for air travel, with summer in full swing, all of the kids out of school and more than a few grownups taking some well-deserved time off.
Whatever you have in mind this summer vacation season, AirTran Airways can help with great low fares and outstanding service to more than 50 destinations.
If you're thinking about a family trip to the beach, we serve nine cities across Florida and a host of other sunny destinations including San Diego, Savannah/Hilton Head, Charleston, South Carolina and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Summer is also the perfect time to explore one of America's great cities. From San Francisco to Washington, DC, Chicago to New York, AirTran Airways can get your unforgettable trip off to a great start in the style and comfort of America's youngest all-Boeing jet fleet.
Looking for another excuse to visit New York this month? On July 15, the biggest stars of the American and National leagues battle for bragging rights in Major League Baseball's 2008 All-Star Game. This will be the Midsummer Classic's final visit to storied Yankee Stadium, which will be replaced with an all-new park next year.
Even if you can't make it to the All-Star Game, you can still catch all of this season's baseball action onboard AirTran Airways. With XM Satellite Radio on every flight and XM's extensive multi-channel baseball coverage, you don't have to miss a pitch, hit or run when you fly with us.
Also this month, America celebrates our 232nd birthday with events nationwide. From July 1 through July 6, Boston hosts Harborfest, a popular commemoration featuring music, food and fun for all. Colonial Williamsburg, meanwhile, will mark the big day with fifes and drums and fireworks—and give visitors a glimpse of what life was like at the time of the American Revolution.
Yet another recent addition to AirTran Airways' destination map is Burlington, Vermont. We're very pleased to bring low fares to Green Mountain State residents while making it affordable for other AirTran customers to visit this uniquely beautiful part of the country.
On behalf of AirTran Airways' 8,900 friendly, professional Crew Members, thanks again for your business. We appreciate you choosing to fly with us, and we look forward to welcoming you onboard another AirTran Airways flight very soon.
Cordially,
Bob Fornaro, Chairman, CEO, and President
