Description

One of the most successful U.S. start-up airlines of the 1990s had six airline brands, and several legal names, involved in just its first four years.

Then it settled down to become a nimble competitor, known for low fares, a quality product, cheeky advertising, and a multi-billion dollar business volume that generated a long string of profitable annual results.

With this Airline Time Machine podcast we’ll look at the early years of AirTran Airways, its predecessor ValuJet Airlines, and what ultimately became of the eighth largest airline in the U.S., its unusual fleet, and 8,500 staff.
