AirTran's fleet consisted of Boeing 717-200 aircraft, of which it was the world's largest operator, and Boeing 737-700 aircraft. It was fully integrated into Southwest Airlines on December 28, 2014.
Southwestâs recently announced plan to acquire rival AirTran is nothing new for the industry, but represents a departure for the Dallas-based discount carrier. Plagued by higher fuel prices and capacity issues, airlines in the U.S. have in recent years turned to consolidation as a way to cut costs and remain competitive. The Southwest-AirTran merger (valued at $3.4 billion when AirTranâs aircraft leases and debt are included) now awaits regulatory approval.
