We have reproduced in full below the letter dated Febrauary 2010 from the AirTran Airways President , as this is a spectularly succesful piece of writing which manages both to convey the message that AirTran Airways is expanding and gives details of what to expect this year:

"There’s no better time than February to take or plan a getaway to a sunny vacation spot.

Whether you want to celebrate Valentine’s Day someplace warm, treat the family to a winter beach trip or escape the cold, AirTran Airways has you covered with comfortable, all-Boeing jet service to a host of sundrenched destinations, from Los Angeles to Florida to the Caribbean.

For years, leisure travelers have turned to AirTran Airways for great low fares and outstanding service to the most popular Sunshine State destinations. Today, we fly to 10 Florida cities and offer nonstop flights to Orlando from more cities than any other airline. In December, we rolled out service to Key West, providing the only full-sized, commercial jet access to the storied island.

Adding to our popular, ongoing service to San Juan, Puerto Rico, AirTran Airways began flying to three new Caribbean hot spots in 2009, making these sought-after destinations more accessible than ever. A year ago this month, we kicked off service to Cancun, Mexico’s most popular destination. Late last year, we began flights to Nassau, Bahamas, as well as Aruba. T

his month, we’re rolling out new service to Montego Bay, Jamaica — a warm and welcoming destination known for its luxurious beach resorts, dramatic natural beauty and some of the world’s finest championship golf courses. Over the years, many of our customers have asked us to add Jamaica to our growing route map, and it is exciting for us to be able to do just that this month.

If you’re more interested in embracing winter than beating it this season, AirTran Airways can get you where you want to be with low-cost, high-quality service to great winter sports destinations, from Denver to Portland, ME.

In other destination news, we’re adding three new cities this month: Des Moines, IA, Lexington, KY, and Omaha, NE. In January, we resumed scheduled service to Gulfport/Biloxi, MS. Residents and visitors to all four cities can now enjoy the benefits of flying and saving with AirTran Airways.

Two of the cities we’re adding this month — Des Moines and Omaha — are being served by SkyWest airlines, which we’ve teamed up with to provide convenient regional jet service between Milwaukee and six destinations. (The other four are Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Akron/Canton, OH, and Indianapolis.)

Speaking of Milwaukee, the city continues to be a growing regional hub for AirTran Airways. We recently announced plans to open a flight crew base in Milwaukee, a move that will add more than 100 jobs in the area.

This spring, we expect to have 50 pilots as well as 50-plus flight attendants based at AirTran Airways’ thriving Midwestern hub.

Thanks again for flying with us today. On behalf of all AirTran Airways Crew Members, I want you to know that we appreciate the opportunity to meet your needs for air travel. We look forward to welcoming you aboard another flight very soon. Cordially, Bob Fornaro, Chairman, CEO, and President"
