AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), today kicked off the airline's new nonstop daily service from Chicago's Midway International Airport to New York/Newark Liberty International Airport. The service will operate on the airline's popular Boeing 717 aircraft.

In addition to the new nonstop service to New York/Newark, the airline also operates nonstop daily service to Atlanta, Boston, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Sarasota/Bradenton and Orlando. With new nonstop service to Charlotte and Dallas/Ft. Worth starting May 9, the airline will operate 32 daily departures from Chicago Midway to eight nonstop destinations by mid-May 2006.

I wonder who will win this battle for SWA's passengers who currently either fly on ATA's 9 daily nonstops between MDW and LGA or go to PHL (west side of NYC) on one of SWA's 8 daily nonstops from MDW? Any fares announced yet?

Should be fun to watch "Citrus" in action (that's what you get when you put an orange in a blender)! I wish FL well, but not too well!
 
I was wondering if anyone knew how this route is doing for Airtran? If it is going well, are there plans for additional flights? just wondering...........
