SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Network Latin America 2010, AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AAI - News), announced new nonstop, seasonal service to L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda, from Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Bermuda marks the latest destination in AirTran's extensive international route network which includes: Aruba; Cancun, Mexico; Montego Bay, Jamaica; Nassau, Bahamas; and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Nonstop flights to Bermuda will be available daily from Baltimore/Washington beginning April 7, 2011, through October 24, 2011, while daily service from Atlanta to Bermuda will begin on May 26, 2011, through September 6, 2011.
"Bermuda is delighted to welcome new air services from AirTran. With such strong business, cultural and educational ties with both Atlanta and the Baltimore-Washington area, the introduction of these two new flights brings with it a choice in direct air service along with added seats at lower fares," said Bermuda's Minister of Transport, the Honourable Terry Lister. "And given AirTran's proven track record of entering new markets and succeeding, this will undoubtedly bring about additional visitors to our island. We look forward to a long standing relationship with AirTran."
Connections to Bermuda will be available from more than 45 cities throughout the AirTran Airways network via Baltimore/Washington and Atlanta including: New York, Boston, Orlando, Milwaukee and dozens of others.
"Adding Bermuda to our already extensive international route map means more options than ever for our loyal customers to enjoy the world-renowned beaches and activities of some of the most popular vacation getaways around," said John Kirby, AirTran Airways' senior director of strategic planning and scheduling at the conference. "We're making it easier than ever for our loyal customers from around our network to experience the famous hospitality, pink-sand beaches and unique island culture of Bermuda at a reasonable price."

HOW...HOW are you going to BDA? You don't have rafts. BDA is over 600 miles off shore.

unless....this has changed.
 
Just add this to the long list of items that Airtran DOESN'T bring to the table...



Now that's funny.
 
SWA has (3) -700s that are ETOPS. Maybe SWA will lease them to AirTran until the acquisition is complete.

Even if that's true, AT doesn't have personnel that are ETOPS qualified and their Ops Specs wouldn't have certification. You have to have airline, airframe, and crew all certified to operate ETOPS, and that can take up to a year to complete.
