Layer up with a ValuJet Airlines heavy knit quarter-zip sweatshirt inspired by an unmistakable name in 1990s U.S. aviation. From its 1993 first flight between Atlanta and Tampa, ValuJet developed an Atlanta-centered route network and a highly visible identity marked by blue-and-yellow trim and the smiling Critter. The name later became part of the AirTran story, making it a favorite reference for collectors of defunct airlines and travel history. This quarter-zip brings that legacy into cool-weather airport runs, air shows, and everyday wear.
ValuJet Airlines was a U.S. ultra low-cost carrier founded in 1992 that began operations on October 26, 1993. Its first flight, Flight 901, flew from Atlanta to Tampa using a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-21 formerly operated by Delta Air Lines. Headquartered in unincorporated Clayton County, Georgia, ValuJet built an Atlanta-centered network serving destinations in the eastern United States and Canada. The airline used an all-McDonnell Douglas fleet, primarily used DC-9s, and its white aircraft carried blue and yellow trim with the smiling Critter mascot. Following the May 11, 1996 crash of Flight 592 in the Florida Everglades, the FAA grounded the airline on June 11. ValuJet resumed service on September 26 with a reduced fleet. In 1997, ValuJet merged with Airways Corporation, parent of the smaller AirTran Airways, and the combined business adopted the AirTran name. Operations transferred to AirTran Airways in 1998, while ValuJet's legal existence ended in 1999. AirTran was acquired by Southwest Airlines in 2011 and ended flights in 2014.
