NEWS: AirTran Airways Speeds Up at Indy

AirTran Airways has decided to speed up their launch into Indianapolis on the heels of ATA's decision to reduce flights from their main hub. AirTran's new plan (hey..that rhymes) is to start service on April 9 instead of May. This dovetails nicely with ATA's plan to cut back to just 4 departures daily from Indy on April 10. AirTran isn't the only one looking to exploit the vacuum left by ATA.

Northwest Airlines has also been adding flights since they started smelling blood in the water last summer. All of this should be good news for the folks in Indy and for the airport officials who might have been wondering how they would make ends meet.
