ATA Airlines discontinues all operations

Better rethink your travel plans if you're booked with ATA:

[size=13pt]ATA AIRLINES DISCONTINUES ALL OPERATIONS[/size]

After filing for Chapter 11 on April 2, 2008 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Indianapolis, IN, ATA Airlines has discontinued all operations and cancelled all current and future flights. Following the loss of a key contract for our military charter business, it became impossible for ATA to continue operations. Unfortunately, we were not in a position to provide our customers or others with advance notice.

I saw that this morning. We have a flight booked in the semi-near future with US airways. At first, I thought I remember that they were tied to ATA, but they're tied to AWA. *sigh of relief*

Its the second this week.
Aloha Airlines bellied up on Monday.
We don't use ATA at work, but we used Aloha all the time.

I thought I was screwed at first.

I have two flights (one on Tues) through Air Tran Airways = ATA.
LOL!



Air Tran is not the same
ATA!
Thank gawd!

I almost booked a flight through them this week...whew.

Never heard of them. I usually take Midwest, Airtran, and Frontier.

air Canada is the way to go :P

Skybus becomes third airline this week to close

DENVER (AP) — Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, but unlike other airlines filing for bankruptcy in recent weeks, it plans to keep running while it reorganizes.

Is it time to have a publicly owned airline yet?
