AirTran Buying More Boeing 737 Jets
Posted on: Thursday, 27 April 2006, 15:00 CDT
AirTran Airways, a unit of AirTran Holdings Inc., said Thursday it converted purchase options on Boeing 737 jets into 14 firm orders.
The 737-700 aircraft will be delivered in 2008, said AirTran, which also exercised purchase rights for 10 more of the same twin-jet aircraft for delivery in 2010.
This ... completes the airline's original order of 100 aircraft placed with Boeing in 2003, the Florida company said in a statement. The airline currently operates 26 Boeing 737-700 series aircraft and 85 Boeing 717-200 aircraft -- making it the world's largest operator of the Boeing 717 and the airline with youngest all-Boeing fleet in America.
