CHICAGO, June 13 (Reuters) - AirTran Holdings (AAI.N: Quote, Profile , Research), parent of low-cost carrier AirTran Airways, has not seen the softening in domestic travel demand that some carriers have predicted, the chief executive said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a Merrill Lynch investor conference, Joe Leonard said second-quarter demand has been strong.
"We have not seen softness in our demand in April or May," Leonard said on a Webcast of the conference. "We have seen a little softness going into June on near-term bookings."
The airline industry has been on the mend following a years-long slump. Industry experts warn, however, of weakening domestic revenue in 2007 due to excess capacity.
