2004 Annual Report
New planes.
The youngest, all-Boeing fleet in America got even younger in 2004. We expanded our fleet of dependable
717s and began taking delivery of the first of 100 new 737s. The first 737 (and the spectacular new paint
job that’ll be featured on the entire fleet) was unveiled last June during a delivery ceremony at Seattle’s
Museum of Flight. Crew Members from AirTran Airways and employees of the Boeing Corporation joined
kids and chaperones from CHRIS Kids, Inc., an Atlanta-based children’s organization, to “pull” the new
aircraft into service. We pulled the airplane 65 feet, resulting in a $65,000 donation to CHRIS Kids, Inc.
The highly efficient 737 will help keep our costs low while greatly expanding our range of service –
assuring our continued growth and industry leadership. We took delivery of eight 737s last year. Keep your
eyes on the skies for 92 more.
