ATLANTA, USA (Reuters) -- Low-cost airline AirTran Airways said on Tuesday it filed applications with the US Department of Transportation to offer flights to three stops in the Caribbean in a bid to expand its international service.
The unit of AirTran Holdings Inc said it has proposed offering service to Nassau, Bahamas, and Montego Bay, Jamaica, from Atlanta, Baltimore and Orlando, Florida. It also said flights to the island of Aruba would originate in Atlanta and Orlando.
AirTran began offering flights to Cancun, Mexico, in February.
AirTran, based in Orlando, has moved to reduce debt and fuel-related costs as the economic slump hurt travel demand. Those lower costs helped AirTran post profits for both the first and second quarters of this year against year-earlier losses, and AirTran said in July that it expects a profit for the third quarter. | | | | Reads : 1503 | | | |
