Santa’s Sleigh is on the Way to the U.S.A.

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), is pleased to present its third and final annual Satellite-based Aviation Navigational Tracking Apparatus (S.A.N.T.A.) report. The following information regarding Santa Claus’ international flight is based on data from AirTran Airways’ System Operations Control (SOC) center in Orlando:

• Satellites tracked Santa to South America, where he was spotted at a beach in Brazil feeding his reindeer cookies before continuing his world tour. Although Rudolph’s nose is almost as bright as the sun, Santa did not need sunscreen.
• Apparently, the night air is a little chillier than usual this year as the jolly old gift bearer stopped in Guatemala to warm-up at a volcano outside of Antigua before leaving Central America.
• Radar signals were lost as Santa entered the Bermuda Triangle.
• It is apparent that Santa’s heading stateside — it is AirTran Airways’ recommendation that all believers have their milk and cookies ready in anticipation of his arrival.

On behalf of AirTran Airways Crew Members, the S.A.N.T.A. Team would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season: MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD FLIGHT!
