Celebrate the story of AirTran JetConnect with a youth hoodie made for young aviation enthusiasts. The regional brand connected Atlanta with smaller eastern markets on CRJ200 jets in AirTran livery, beginning service in November 2002. Its regional jet operation concluded in August 2004, while the aircraft later moved through other airline identities. This short chapter offers an engaging link to airline history for school days, travel, and collectors sharing their interest with the next generation.
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.
