AirTran Airways, a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwest Airlines, Co., told its employees today that operations will cease early next year at the following four airports:
- Asheville (N.C.) Regional (AVL)
- Atlantic City International (ACY)
- Quad City (Moline, Ill.) International (MIL)
- Newport News Williamsburg (Va.) International (PHF)
AirTran Airways said they can no longer support service to these particular markets in light of the realities of the challenging economic environment and sustained high fuel prices.
AirTran stated that employees at these locations will have the opportunity to move elsewhere within the airline, after the operations cease early next year.
AirTran Airways will continue to operate at Asheville, Atlantic City, and Quad City airports through January 6, 2012, and at Newport News Williamsburg through March 9, 2012.
AirTran says ticketed passengers, passengers holding reservations, or passengers desiring to make reservations for flights to or from these airports have no need to alter their travel plans prior to these closing dates.
The airline said they will begin directly contacting the limited number of passengers who are currently holding reservations beyond the closing dates, in order to assist them in reaccommodating their air travel needs.
