TRANSPORTATION: St. Louis, San Diego in AirTran's plans
AirTran Airways plans to add new nonstop daily flights from Atlanta to St. Louis and San Diego in time for the summer travel season. The two cities are the largest destinations from Atlanta in terms of traffic or revenue that AirTran doesn't currently serve. St. Louis is the largest such market in terms of average passenger volumes, with an average of 310 passengers per day over the past year. Flights begin May 8, according to AirTran, the second-largest carrier at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. AirTran will begin seasonal service to San Diego on May 24. AirTran said the Southern California city is the largest market in terms of revenue that it doesn't fly to, with average one-way fares of $222 over the past year.
