AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), today announced nonstop flights between Branson Airport and Orlando International Airport beginning December 19, 2009.

"We are excited to connect two of the most popular entertainment destinations in our network," said Kevin Healy, senior vice president of marketing and planning for AirTran Airways. In December of 2008, AirTran Airways became the first national carrier to offer service out of Branson Airport - the first privately financed and operated commercial airport in the United States.

"The addition of low-cost nonstop Orlando service is a welcomed addition to AirTran's presence at Branson Airport," said Jeff Bourk, executive director, Branson Airport. "The new service will make it easy and convenient for folks, in Southwest Missouri and Northern Arkansas, to travel to the exciting vacation destination of Orlando to enjoy the beautiful weather during the winter months."
