AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), today announced plans to begin service in Tunica, Miss., effective May 6, 2010. This will be the first scheduled air service from a major airline to the entertainment and gaming destination.
The low-cost carrier will offer roundtrip, nonstop flights on the Company's next generation Boeing 717 aircraft between Tunica Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Hartsfield-Jackson is AirTran Airways' biggest operation with connections to 47 destinations from coast to coast.
"Tunica is one of the fastest growing resort areas in the country and the demand for air service to this previously unserved market is growing by leaps and bounds," said Kevin Healy, senior vice president of marketing and planning for AirTran Airways. "The reach and convenience of our Atlanta hub will make it easy for customers from around the country to experience all the area has to offer."
AirTran Airways is the only major airline in the U.S. with Wi-Fi on every flight. The Company also offers affordable Business Class seats and complimentary XM Satellite Radio on North America's newest all-Boeing fleet.
"As the largest gaming operator in Tunica and the owner of Harrah's Casino Tunica, Horseshoe Casino & Hotel Tunica and Tunica Roadhouse Casino & Hotel, Harrah's Entertainment Mid-South is proud to partner with AirTran Airways, Tunica Airport, and Tunica Convention and Visitor's Bureau to announce regularly scheduled commercial air service between Tunica and Atlanta," said R. Scott Barber, Regional President, Harrah's Mid-South.
