AirTran Airways soon will drop out of the Atlanta-Miami market it has served for more than a decade. The low-cost carrier, which has operated on the route since 1998, will end Atlanta flights on Oct. 7. Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines is also on the route with 10 daily flights, and American Airlines, with its Miami hub, offers six.

“After flying the route for many years, we determined that we couldn’t continue to support it,” an AirTran spokesman says. “We have a much bigger operation in Fort Lauderdale, so that’s where we are going to run our South Florida operation from.”

The cessation of the Atlanta service will leave AirTran with flights to Miami from its large operation at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. AirTran, which offers as many as eight daily flights for Atlanta-Fort Lauderdale, says it will add an extra daily in October to reaccommodate Atlanta-Miami customers.
