We Want Low Fares!
Low-cost carrier AirTran Airways is coming to Huntsville! Starting May 27, AirTran will offer non-stop flights from Huntsville to Baltimore and Orlando with one-way fares as low as $89! Thank you for helping us make this happen.
"I really want to take the time and Praise God for this. My parents live about an hour & a half from Orlando, and we don't get the opportunity to go down there as often as we want to. So now we have been blessed with the chance to visit them. Thank God, and thanks for putting the opportunity to participate in this and win."

This is a great boon for the entire Tennessee Valley because getting - and keeping - a low-cost carrier is a community-wide issue that affects each and every one of us no matter whether we travel for pleasure or business.
There is more work to be done, however, because AirTran also flies into Atlanta. We must add the Atlanta market AirTran's gateway to the entire United States and that depends solely on the support of the Tennessee Valley region.
On March 5, 2010, a community initiative was announced by the Chambers of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County, Decatur/Morgan County, and Athens/Limestone County. Heeding the call to action and joining the chambers as the first corporate partner to pledge leadership and financial support is ADTRAN.
But we need more support. This Atlanta service is the determining factor in our passengers saving an average of 40% on airfares, yielding a total savings of $60 million per year for our community. Now more than ever is the time when we look toward the community to pledge its financial support to bring the Atlanta service to Huntsville.
You can be a part of this low-cost carrier community recruitment initiative.
