Southwest Makes Big Move into Atlanta
(AJC) — After decades of rumors that it might try to wedge itself into the Atlanta market with a few flights here or there, Southwest Airlines plans a much grander entrance.
The Dallas-based airline, considered the paragon of U.S. discount carriers, said Monday that it will buy AirTran Airways in a $1.4 billion deal that will give Southwest a 200-plus-flights-a-day operation at Hartsfield-JacksonInternational Airport.
