SEASON’S GREETINGS AND<br />
THANK YOU FOR FLYING<br />
AIRTRAN AIRWAYS.<br />
For many people, December is one of the busiest times of the year.<br />
There are business and personal goals to achieve, presents to pick<br />
out, holiday events to attend, and family and friends to visit, often in<br />
distant places.<br />
At AirTran Airways, we understand that you have your own unique<br />
reasons for traveling with us, and we want you to know that we appreciate<br />
the opportunity to get you where you’re going—and return you home—in<br />
the comfort of North America’s newest all-Boeing fl eet.<br />
As <strong>2009</strong> comes to a close, AirTran Airways is making our low-cost,<br />
high-value service available to more people in more places across the<br />
United States and beyond. This year, we’ve added new service to Cancun,<br />
Mexico; Allentown/Bethlehem, PA; Asheville, NC; Atlantic City; Branson,<br />
MO; Charleston, WV; and Knoxville, TN. And we’ve increased nonstops<br />
serving Milwaukee and other cities.<br />
This month, we’re continuing to expand our coast-to-coast route map<br />
with new service to three more tropical destinations: Aruba, Key West, and<br />
Nassau, Bahamas. Just in time for winter, we’re also adding more seasonal<br />
nonstops to Florida from Boston, Chicago, Columbus and Pittsburgh.<br />
And that’s not all. In February, AirTran Airways will begin service to<br />
Montego Bay, Jamaica, one of the world’s most beautiful resort destinations.<br />
Many customers have asked us to fl y to Jamaica, and we look forward<br />
to making those wishes come<br />
true starting in February.<br />
Meanwhile, we’ll make it<br />
more convenient and affordable<br />
for Kentucky residents<br />
to visit Florida—and vice<br />
versa—when we begin<br />
nonstop fl ights in February<br />
between our new destination<br />
of Lexington and both<br />
Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale.<br />
Beyond adding cities, we’re<br />
also seeking new ways to<br />
enhance your fl ying experience<br />
on AirTran Airways. And,<br />
just as we’ve long offered<br />
Business Class seating and<br />
complimentary XM Satellite<br />
Radio on every fl ight, we introduced<br />
Gogo Infl ight Internet<br />
access this year across our<br />
entire fl eet of aircraft. Which<br />
means you know you’re going<br />
to be able to stay connected<br />
whenever you fl y with us.<br />
Still looking for a gift or<br />
two? AirTran Airways makes<br />
it easy to please even the<br />
most challenging people on<br />
your holiday list with gift<br />
certifi cates available at www.<br />
airtran.com. And you never<br />
have to worry that the style,<br />
color or size may not be just<br />
right, because an AirTran<br />
Airways gift certifi cate is a<br />
sure fi t for any recipient.<br />
Thank you for the opportunity<br />
to meet your air travel<br />
needs in <strong>2009</strong>. On behalf<br />
of all AirTran Airways Crew<br />
Members, I wish you and<br />
yours all the best this holiday<br />
season. We look forward<br />
to welcoming you aboard<br />
another AirTran Airways<br />
fl ight very soon.<br />
Very best holiday wishes,<br />
Bob Fornaro<br />
Chairman, President and CEO<br />
