AirTran Airways Launches System-Wide Fare Sale

ORLANDO, Fla., May 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), today launched a fare sale for travel to all of the airline's destinations with fares starting as low as $39*. Travelers may purchase these sale fares at http://www.airtran.com or via AirTran Airways' reservations system at 1-800-AIR-TRAN. For Spanish, call 1-877-581-9842.

"Getaways don't book themselves, and with sale fares this low, they won't be around for long," said Matthew Klein, director of pricing and revenue management. "We always offer our passengers low fares -- even at the last minute -- along with friendly and attentive Crew Members and great amenities including affordable Business Class seating on every flight and more than 100 channels of XM Satellite Radio in every seat."

These special fares are available for purchase through June 5, 2007, are good for travel through November 8, 2007, and are valid for travel Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Like all AirTran Airways fares, prices included in this sale are available for one-way travel and do not require a roundtrip purchase or an overnight stay.
