AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AAI), today announced it will begin new nonstop service between Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. The new nonstop flights will begin July 1, 2004.

"We are pleased to add this new service for our Dallas/Ft. Worth and Los Angeles customers," said Kevin Healy, vice president of planning and sales for AirTran Airways. "We are confident this new route will be a popular one for travelers seeking our high quality brand of low-fare service." AirTran Airways also currently offers nonstop service between Dallas/Ft. Worth and Atlanta, Baltimore, Orlando, and Las Vegas.

You should give it a try, dbaker! Only $89 each way with an easy upgrade to business class for less than $50! Probably will even be flown by one of the brand new 737-7s. And not to worry, Southwest already teamed up with Boeing way back in 1998 to iron out all of the "fresh-out-of-the-box" kinks on that new model

This is all a part of AirTran's plan to expand beyond the traditional "hub and spoke" system already established in Atlanta. Baltimore has become their mini-hub in the northeast and it appears that Dallas will be their western mini-hub. Good news
