Product Details & Size Guide
Show your interest in a distinctive regional airline chapter with this AirTran JetConnect Embroidered Dad Cap Hat. JetConnect operated from AirTran’s Atlanta hub, linking the airline with smaller markets across the eastern United States using CRJ200 aircraft in AirTran livery. The brand’s operation lasted from 2002 to 2004, making it a compelling subject for aviation collectors and travelers who remember the period. This company-specific cap offers an easy way to wear that history and share your appreciation for regional airline stories.
AirTran JetConnect was the regional service brand of AirTran Airways, operating from the airline’s Atlanta hub. Announced on September 26, 2002, it began flying on November 15, initially serving Greensboro, Pensacola, and Savannah before expanding to 18 cities across the eastern United States. Regional carrier Air Wisconsin operated ten Bombardier CRJ200 jets in AirTran livery, with JetConnect branding beside the AirTran logo. The flights served shorter routes where AirTran considered its Boeing 717 and Airbus A320 aircraft too large to operate economically. On March 5, 2004, AirTran announced the service would end, concluding regional jet operations in August. AirTran’s analysis found it could operate the Boeing 717 more efficiently on those routes. Air Wisconsin returned the jets to the United Express fleet; they were later repainted in US Airways colors, and the carrier operated under the US Airways Express banner. Following the US Airways merger with American Airlines, Air Wisconsin operated as an American Eagle regional air carrier. AirTran later resumed regional service from Milwaukee in December 2009 with SkyWest Airlines, but without the JetConnect brand; that operation ended in September 2011.
