Airtran is doing really well, they just beat out all other airlines in terms of quality..I read an interesting article on http://www.brandweek.com about how Airtran is now targeting college kids…makes sense for their branding considering how cheap it is to fly on Airtran…I’m a senior at Northeastern and I fly JetBlue all the time because of price, but might consider AirTran cause I think they’re cheaper.
