American Trans Air’s story began in Indianapolis in 1973, supporting Ambassadair before becoming a charter airline and later adding scheduled service. Its routes grew from an Indianapolis and Fort Myers connection to a network spanning the mainland, Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean, with Chicago Midway as a major hub. This backpack brings that distinctive airline history into an everyday travel companion, suited to commutes, day trips, and aviation gatherings. It honors the changing identity of a carrier remembered for leisure flying and military transport.
American Trans Air began in Indianapolis in 1973, when pilot J. George Mikelsons founded a for-profit company to provide staff and aircraft for Ambassadair, a separately certified, nonprofit travel club. In March 1981, the company became a charter airline in its own right. It introduced scheduled service in 1986, initially linking Indianapolis with Fort Myers, Florida, and later developed a major hub at Chicago Midway while serving destinations in the mainland United States, Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The airline expanded through changing names: its parent, Amtran, became ATA Holdings in 2002; the carrier adopted the ATA Airlines name in 2003; and the parent became Global Aero Logistics in 2007 after acquiring World Air Holdings, which operated World Airways and North American Airlines. ATA also flew military and commercial charters, including extensive U.S. military transport. Facing financial strain, it filed for Chapter 11 protection in October 2004 and emerged in February 2006. On April 2, 2008, ATA filed again and ceased operations, citing the loss of a military charter contract and rising fuel costs. Southwest Airlines later acquired ATA trademarks, logos, and other assets.
