AirTran JetConnect was the brand name for AirTran Airways' regional airline service, which flew regional jet aircraft from AirTran's hub in Atlanta. Service was to short-haul markets where AirTran felt their Boeing 717 or Airbus A320 (with the latter type being operated by Ryan International for AirTran via contract) mainline jet aircraft were too large to economically operate.
The JetConnect service was provided by regional carrier Air Wisconsin, which operated ten Bombardier CRJ200 jets painted in full banner carrier AirTran livery with the subtle title branding JetConnect added next to the AirTran logo.[1]
The last regional jet flight operated in August 2004.
