Amendment No. 1 Overview

AirTran Holdings, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 to reflect the restatement of our previously issued financial statements and other
information to correct inadvertent errors in accounting for fuel expense and to revise certain other disclosure language following comments received in connection with a review of certain of our periodic filings by the Staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. For further discussion of the restatement, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements and Item 9A contained herein.

In
March 2006, we identified certain inadvertent errors that had resulted in misstatements of previously reported fuel expenses and recorded an adjustment for the cumulative effect of the errors in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Based on our
initial assessment that the misstatements were not material to our previously issued financial statements and the cumulative adjustment would not be material to our expected 2006 operating results, we recorded a $6.8 million favorable adjustment to
fuel expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. However, on August 4, 2006, management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors concluded that we would amend our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005 and our previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to correct our reported fuel expense in 2004, 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, rather than solely in the first quarter of
2006. We arrived at this conclusion during the course of responding to inquiries arising from comments from the Staff relating to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Accordingly, our financial statements for
2004, 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 in our original filings should no longer be relied upon. In connection with the filing of amended periodic reports, management determined also to revise such reports to modify or amplify certain disclosures
that we had indicated to the Staff would be addressed in our future periodic filings. Management and the Chairman of our Audit Committee also discussed these matters with our independent registered public accountants.

The information contained in this Amendment, including the financial statements and the notes hereto, amends only Items 1, 1A, 6, 7, 7A, 8, 9A and 15 of our originally
filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and no other items in our originally filed Form 10-K are amended hereby. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the complete text of those
items in which amended language appears is set forth herein, including those portions of the text that have not been amended from that set forth in the original Form 10-K. Except for the aforementioned adjustment, this Form 10-K/A does not
materially modify or update other disclosures in the original Form 10-K, including the nature and character of such disclosure to reflect events occurring after March 9, 2006, the filing date of the original Form 10-K. Accordingly this Form
10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In addition, currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been included as
exhibits to this amendment.

Impact on Managements Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting: In connection with the
restatement, we reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. We concluded that our failure to correctly account for fuel expense constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of this material
weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2005.

We have performed an extensive review
of our fuel accounting in an effort to ensure that this amendment reflects all necessary adjustments. As discussed in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we have
adopted a remediation plan to address this material weakness. As part of such remediation plan, we have also designed new internal control procedures to help remediate the issues associated with controls over fuel expense reporting and to provide
that our fuel expense will be properly accounted for in future periods, including the following:



| |  |  | In March 2006, we implemented revised controls in order to provide that our fuel expense is properly stated. Specifically, the following controls were revised or implemented: i) a
formal review of our fuel expense analyses was performed and is being performed on a monthly basis, ii) monthly reconciliations of our prepaid fuel balances to vendor statements are being performed and reviewed, and iii) procedures to periodically
confirm outstanding balances owed to or from our fuel suppliers are being performed. We have implemented procedures that we believe remediate this material weakness. We are in the process of completing our testing to confirm that the procedures are
operating effectively.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Statements in this Form 10-K/A report (or otherwise made by AirTran or on AirTrans behalf) contain various forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which represent our managements beliefs and
assumptions concerning future events. When used in this document and in documents incorporated by reference, forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding financial forecasts or projections, our expectations, beliefs,
intentions or future strategies that are signified by the words expects, anticipates, intends, believes or similar language. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
assumptions that could cause our actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available
to us on the date of this report. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progress, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections, beliefs and
assumptions upon which we base our expectations may change. Although these expectations may change, we may not inform you if they do. Our policy is generally to provide our expectations only once per quarter, and not to update that information until
the next quarter.

You should understand that many important factors, in addition to those discussed in this report, could cause our
results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Potential factors that could affect our results include, in addition to others not described in this report, those described in Item 1A of our report on Form
10-K/A under Risk Factors. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Company

All of the operations of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (the Company, we, us, or AirTran) are conducted by our wholly owned subsidiary, AirTran Airways, Inc. (Airways). Airways is one of the largest low cost scheduled
airlines in the United States in terms of departures and seats offered. We operate scheduled airline service primarily in short-haul markets principally in the eastern United States, with a majority of our flights originating and terminating at our
hub in Atlanta, Georgia. As of March 1, 2006, we operated 85 Boeing 717-200 (B717) and 23 Boeing 737-700 (B737) aircraft operating approximately 600 scheduled flights per day to 47 locations in United States as well as Freeport, Bahamas.

We are one of only a few domestic airlines to report profitable operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. We have created what we believe to
be a successful business model by targeting value oriented business and leisure travelers with high quality service at affordable fares. Our service is designed not only to satisfy the transportation needs of our target customers, but also to
provide customers with a travel experience worth repeating. The success of this strategy is evidenced by the 16.6 million revenue passengers who flew AirTran during 2005, a 26.3 percent increase from the 13.2 million revenue passengers we
served in the prior year. We achieved these results with a cost structure that ranks among the lowest in the airline industry.

In 2005, we undertook a
number of key initiatives to strengthen our competitive position, including expanded distribution agreements, improvements to our website, including our online ticketing software, improvements in our self-service ticketing and check-in kiosks, and
the installation of XM Satellite Radio on our fleet. With the addition of new B737 aircraft, Airways operates one of the youngest fleets in the aviation industry today.

We were the launch customer for the B717, which was designed specifically for efficient short-haul service. We believe the B717 will continue to enhance our overall image while also improving our operating
performance. In July 2003, we announced our plans to add up to 100 new Boeing 737-700/800 (B737) aircraft to our fleet, the first of which was delivered in June 2004. The B737 aircraft provides us with a larger aircraft, increased range and lower
unit operating costs.

Our principal executive offices are located at 9955 AirTran Boulevard, Orlando, Florida 32827, and our telephone number is
(407) 251-5600. Our official website address is www.airtran.com. Our audit committee charter, code of conduct and ethics, and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports, are accessible free of charge at www.airtran.com. Any waiver of the terms of our code of conduct and ethics for the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, any
accounting officer and all other executive officers will be disclosed on our website. During 2005, we posted in a timely manner all Exchange Act reports required to be filed during the period.

The reference to our website does not constitute incorporation by reference of any information contained at that site.

Seasonality

Our financial and operating results for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of those for the entire year. Air travel in our markets tends to be seasonal, with the highest levels occurring during the winter months to Florida and the summer months to the northeastern and western United
States. Advertising and promotional expenses may be greater in lower traffic periods, as well as when entering a new market, as we seek to stimulate demand and promote the AirTran Airways brand.

Through the AirTran experience, we
have created an air travel product with broad appeal which generates a growing number of repeat customers.

We believe our comparatively low-cost structure
will enable us to continue our existing successful strategies, expand our network, provide us with opportunities to further enhance the AirTran experience in innovative ways and stimulate increased demand for air travel from existing and new
customers.

New and Modern Fleet. Our entire fleet is comprised of B717 and B737 aircraft. We had a combined total of 108 such aircraft as of
March 1, 2006, giving us an average fleet age among the lowest in the industry at approximately three years.

As part of a comprehensive plan to
replace, upgrade and expand our fleet of aircraft, we took delivery of our first B717 in September 1999 and as of March 1, 2006, our fleet included 85 B717 aircraft. We believe the B717 remains ideally suited for the short-haul, high-frequency
service that we primarily operate and provides operating efficiencies which support our low cost structure. In January 2005, the manufacturer of the B717 announced the discontinuation of the production of the aircraft in 2006.

In July 2003, we announced an aircraft order of up to 100 new Boeing 737-700/800 aircraft. We took delivery of the first of such new B737-700 aircraft in June 2004 and,
as of March 1, 2006, our fleet included 23 B737 aircraft. In addition to the 23 B737 aircraft, we hold firm orders for 53 B737 aircraft and options and purchase rights for 24 aircraft to be delivered through 2010. We believe the B737 is an
ideal complement to our B717 aircraft, offering us a larger aircraft, increased range and even lower unit operating costs. The B737 allows us to extend our network to selected cities in the western United States and offers us the ability to expand
our international operations to locations in Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean should we chose to do so. We believe the B737 will continue to enhance the AirTran brand while offering improvements in our operating performance.

Growing Atlanta Hub and Expanding Network System. As the second largest carrier at Hartsfield Jackson
Atlanta International Airport, the worlds busiest airport, we have a strong presence in Atlanta. The citys large population base represents one of the largest travel markets in the United States and its geographic position provides a
strong hub from which we continue to expand our route network. In 2005, we increased service to a number of existing locations and added four new cities, Richmond, Virginia; Indianapolis, Indiana; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Detroit, Michigan. In
January 2006, we announced new service to White Plains, New York and Seattle, Washington, which will commence later in 2006.

We believe that there are a
number of markets in the United States that are underserved or overpriced by major airlines that present opportunities for expanding our quality low fare service. As a result, we intend to grow our network by increasing the number of flights in
markets we currently serve, by adding new routes between cities already in our system and service to new cities as opportunities arise. Expansion of our network allows us to build upon our existing infrastructure, which should reduce unit costs and
improve productivity and aircraft utilization.

Diversification of Route Network. Since 2000, we have expanded the scope of our route structure to
include coast to coast flying and have increased our number of flights both from our Atlanta hub as well as other airports. We have diversified our route structure by increasing the amount of non-Atlanta departures from approximately 10 percent of
our daily departures as of December 31, 2001 to approximately 32 percent of daily operations in March 2006 (see table below). For example, our expansion at Baltimore/Washington International Airport enabled us to initiate many new non-stop
routes. In the future, we may selectively add new point-to-point routes between cities other than Atlanta that we currently serve, as well as create additional focus cities similar to our operations at Baltimore/Washington
and Orlando.

Increase Sales Through Our Website. We utilize the Internet as an integral portion of our marketing strategy
utilizing our website. Sales booked directly on airtran.com represent our most cost-effective form of distribution. In addition to being user-friendly and simple, our website is designed to sell tickets efficiently. We continue to add functionality
to airtran.com that allows customers to easily book and manage their travel including a new fare matrix and the ability to retrieve and change future flight reservations. In the fall of 2005, we unveiled a new and updated website and plan additional
enhancements to be announced in 2006. The airtran.com website is an important distribution channel, producing 58% of our sales at the end of 2005, up from 52% at the end of 2004.

Competitive Strengths

Low Cost Structure. Our cost structure ranks among the lowest in the domestic airline
industry in terms of cost per available seat mile, providing a competitive advantage against higher cost carriers. Our low operating costs are made possible through a company-wide focus on cost controls with emphasis on lower labor costs, lower
distribution cost and, higher productivity. In addition, we realize operating efficiencies from the operation of only two aircraft types from a single manufacturer as well as enhanced efficiencies from the introduction of new modern B737 aircraft to
our fleet.

Attractive Atlanta Hub and Route Network. We operate 22 gates from a single concourse under long-term leases at Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport, the worlds busiest airport, and have use agreements for four additional gates on an adjacent concourse with potential for expansion. With our 2005 expansion to Charlotte, Detroit, Indianapolis and Richmond we now
offer low fare quality service to 48 destinations from Atlanta, including many of the largest travel markets within the United States.

Diversified
Traffic Base. We serve both the leisure and business traveler and continue to see strong demand for business travel. As our overall base grew by more than 23 percent in 2005, business travelers accounted for approximately 40 percent of our total
revenue in 2005. Over the past four years, we have also diversified our network increasing operations in key business markets like Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI), Chicago-Midway (MDW) and Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW), as well as adding a
number of new direct routes from Florida. As a percentage of total operations, Atlanta represents approximately 68 percent of our network, down from approximately 90 percent at the end of 2001. This market diversification provides a number of
marketing and cost synergies and adds stability to our revenues by protecting against risks that may impact individual segments of our business.

Flexibility. We have consistently demonstrated our ability to adjust to changes in the economy, market conditions and a competitive industry environment. We responded rapidly to the effects on our business from the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks (the September 11 Events) by reducing capacity approximately 20 percent. Working with our labor groups, we quickly reached agreement on a variety of temporary cost reduction measures, including both pay and work rule
changes, which reduced our costs consistent with capacity. By retaining our workforce we were able to quickly respond to market opportunities and expand service to a number of new markets including Florida to points throughout our network. The
ability to move quickly to meet the changing market was demonstrated with our 2001 expansion into BWI and more recently with our announcement of expanded service to/from Chicago-Midway and Indianapolis.

Innovative Marketing. Our marketing efforts target both business and leisure travelers. We have developed a number of unique and innovative programs designed to
stimulate demand for travel, create customer loyalty, highlight our unique product attributes, like affordable Business Class, and target both business and leisure travelers. Our popular leisure programs include Net Escapes Internet specials and the
X-fares student program. Our A2B Corporate Program and Event Savers Meeting & Convention program effectively attract business customers.

A-Plus Rewards. In 2003, we automated our popular frequent traveler program, A-Plus Rewards, making it accessible online. The A-Plus Rewards program offers a number of ways to earn free travel including the use of the AirTran Visa
card, Hertz car rentals and bonus earnings for business class travel. We believe this program creates strong brand loyalty and provides opportunities for incremental revenue through credit sales and partnerships. As of January 2006, we had
registered more than 3.1 million members, an increase of one million members versus the prior year.

Competition

The
airline industry is highly competitive. Airlines compete on the basis of markets served, price, schedule (frequency and flight times), quality of service, amenities, frequent flyer programs and other services. We compete with other airlines
primarily on the basis of price, which is made possible by our low cost structure relative to other airlines and by focusing on selected markets across the United States. We may face greater competition from existing or new carriers in the future
that could negatively impact our financial and operating results.

Competitors with greater liquidity and access to capital may price their fares at or
below our fares or increase the frequency of their service. This competition could prevent us from attaining a share of the passenger traffic necessary to sustain profitable operations. Our ability to meet price competition depends on our ability to
operate at costs equal to or lower than our competitors or potential competitors.

We believe that our competitive strengths are our low cost structure,
friendly service, competitive fares and strong route network anchored by our hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Our growing brand and our presence in Baltimore/Washington, Chicago and a number of Florida markets augments
operations from our Atlanta hub and provides us with a strong and defensible route system.

Fares, Route System and Scheduling

The majority of markets we currently serve are located in the eastern United States. These markets are attractive due to the concentration of major population centers
within relatively short distances from Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington and Florida, the historically high airfares charged by our competitors in these markets and the significant number of both current and potential business and leisure customers.

As of March 2006, we serve or have announced service to 50 cities from Atlanta, 21 from Orlando, and 12 from Baltimore/Washington. Our schedules are
designed to provide convenient service and connections for our business and leisure travelers and to facilitate connections for our passengers traveling through our hubs and focus cities. Our network strength in Atlanta provides a strong base of
local and connecting traffic as we expand the hub and increase the range and scope of the markets we serve.

We offer an easy to understand fare structure
with a variety of fares at differing advance purchase intervals of fourteen days, seven days, three days as well as walk-up fares. We manage the availability of seats at each fare level by day of week and by flight to maximize revenue.
All of our fares are one-way and most are nonrefundable but can be changed prior to departure with a service charge. Our fares never require a round trip purchase or a minimum stay (e.g., Saturday night stay). Our fare offerings are in direct
contrast to prevalent pricing policies in the industry which typically feature many different price offerings and restrictions for seats on any one flight. We have established interline ticketing and baggage agreements with Delta Air Lines, United
Airlines, US Airways, Frontier Airlines, Midwest Airlines, Icelandair, Aer Lingus and British Airways, which we believe can increase our revenue opportunities and assist us with accommodating passengers during irregular operations.

In the future, we may add new markets to our existing routes and/or additional service between cities that are already served by us. If necessary, we may exit
unprofitable routes. Our selection of markets depends on a number of factors existing at the time we consider service. In our city selection process, we evaluate the market demographics, the potential for service diversification, the ability to
stimulate air travel and various competitive factors. Consequently, there can be no assurance that we will continue to provide service to all of the markets we currently serve.

Distribution, Marketing and e-Commerce

Our marketing efforts are focused on price-sensitive business travelers and leisure travelers who are vital to our success as we seek to position our product and stimulate new customer demand. These are the market
segments in which consumers seek value and which we believe offer the greatest opportunity for growing our revenue base.

The primary objectives of our
marketing activities are to develop an innovative brand identity that is visibly unique and easily contrasted with our competitors. We communicate regularly and frequently with existing and potential customers through the use of advertisements in
newspapers, radio, television, billboards, direct mail, e-mail, movie theatres and the Internet, as well as public relations efforts. These communications typical feature our destinations, quality of product such as business class, XM radio, our all
new Boeing aircraft, assigned seating, everyday affordable fares, special sales promotions and customarily encourage the use of our airtran.com website.

Customers may book flights with us through our website, other Internet websites, travel agencies booking via global distribution systems (GDS) and our own reservation call centers. The Internet is our primary distribution channel, and
during 2005, it represented more than 70 percent of our total bookings. Our Internet sales reflect both bookings made directly through airtran.com, as well as sales transacted through third-party websites such as Travelocity.com and Orbitz.com.
Traditional travel agencies represented approximately 12 percent of our bookings while our reservation call centers generated the remainder of our bookings.

Our award-winning website is a recognized leader in the field of airline e-commerce. During 2005, we enhanced the functionality to allow passengers booking reservations at airtran.com to make changes and reissue tickets online. Passengers
can select their seat, check-in and print their own boarding passes, purchase trip insurance, and book hotel accommodations and car rentals with Hertz.com. As we continue to enhance our website, we expect this channel to represent a greater
percentage of our distribution mix. We have also introduced our Bye-Pass self-service kiosks. Bye-pass facilitates check-ins at the airport for our customers and provides them with an additional opportunity to purchase business class upgrades. Over
half of our customers now check-in using airtran.com or Bye-Pass self-service kiosks.

We offer our customers an affordable business class product. The
business class cabin is configured with 2 by 2 oversized seats with more leg and seat room than the typical coach cabin. Our business class is currently available for $35-$75 over the full coach fare on a confirmed basis and for certain other fares
on a walk-up, standby basis. Members of our A2B Corporate program receive complimentary business class upgrades when purchasing certain fares.

In contrast
to other low-cost airlines, we offer our customers the ability to select seats in advance. Full fare passengers, A-Plus Reward Elite members and members of our A2B Corporate travel program, many of whom tend to purchase tickets at the last minute,
are allowed to reserve seats at the time of purchase. All other customers may reserve seats at the time they check-in, either at the airport or online at airtran.com.

We also offer our automated frequent flier program known as A-Plus Rewards. Our customers may earn either free roundtrip travel or business class upgrades on AirTran Airways, or under certain
circumstances, free travel on other airlines. A-Plus Rewards credits can also be earned for purchases made with an AirTran Airways A-Plus Visa card, when renting from Hertz, and in conjunction with marketing promotions that we may run form time to
time.

We also offer AirTran Airways Vacations, an online travel planning product in partnership with Travelocity. This arrangement provides airtran.com
customers with a full range of vacation packages including Airways flights, Hertz rental cars and access to more than 40,000 hotels, including specially negotiated rates at over 7,000 properties.

We perform all of our marketing, promotional and media relations in-house And utilize an outside firm for advertising and
public relations.

Computer Reservations

We are a
participant in the major travel agency GDSs, including Amadeus, Galileo, SABRE, and WorldSpan. These systems provide flight schedules and pricing information and allow travel agents to electronically process a flight reservation without contacting
our reservations facility. We pay booking fees for the use of the GDS systems.

For direct reservations, either through our call centers or airtran.com, we
provide our customers with a confirmation number, similar to the systems used by hotels and car rental agencies. At the airport this information is used for customer check-in either at the ticket counter or by use of the self-service kiosks, which
helps to alleviate long lines and improve customer service.

Employees

As of December 31, 2005, we employed approximately 6,900 employees representing approximately 6,700 full-time equivalents.

Both initial and recurrent training is provided for all employee groups. The average training period for new employees is approximately one to eight weeks depending on classification. Both pilot training and mechanic training are provided
by in-house training instructors.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require pilots to be licensed commercial pilots, with specific ratings
for the aircraft to be flown, and to be medically certified as physically fit. FAA and medical certifications are subject to periodic renewal requirements including recurrent training and recent flying experience. Mechanics, quality-control
inspectors and flight dispatchers must be certificated and qualified for specific aircraft. Flight attendants must have initial and periodic competency training and qualification. Training programs are subject to approval and monitoring by the FAA.
Management personnel directly involved in the supervision of flight operations, training, maintenance and aircraft inspection must also meet experience standards prescribed by FAA regulations. Management personnel attend management-training classes
to meet government mandated requirements as well as skills development training. All safety-sensitive employees are subject to pre-employment, random and post-accident drug testing.

We have employee groups that are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Railway Labor Act governs our relations with these labor organizations. The agreement with our
dispatchers, who are represented by the Transport Workers Union (TWU), was ratified in October 2004 and becomes amendable in January 2009. Our agreement with our pilots, who are represented by the National Pilots Association (NPA), was ratified in
August 2001 and became amendable in 2005. The agreement is currently in mediation under the auspices of the National Mediation Board.

We have four
separate agreements with employee groups represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). Our agreement with our maintenance technicians and inspectors was ratified in October 2005 and becomes amendable in October 2009. The agreement
with our technical training instructors was ratified in March 2001 and becomes amendable in March 2006. The agreement with our stores clerks was ratified in June 2001 and becomes amendable in June 2006. Our agreement with our ground service
equipment employees was effective October 2001 and becomes amendable in October 2006.

We have a collective bargaining agreement with our flight attendants
who are represented by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA). Our agreement with the flight attendants was ratified in June 2005 and becomes amendable in December 2008.

##### Table of Contents

We also have many employees who are not represented by labor unions. Our customer service, ramp and reservations agents
are not represented by labor unions and recently rejected, for the third time, unionization by a substantial margin in December 2005. We are unable to predict whether any of our non-union employee groups will elect to be represented by a labor union
or become covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The election of a bargaining representative could result in employee compensation and/or working condition demands that may impact operating performance and expenses.

Fuel

Aircraft fuel is a significant expenditure and accounted for
32.4 percent, 24.8 percent and 21.5 percent of our 2005, 2004 and 2003 operating expenses, respectively. Increases in fuel prices or a shortage of supply could have a material adverse effect on our operations and operating results. We utilize fuel
purchase contracts consisting of both fixed-price and cap arrangements. Fixed-price arrangements consist of an agreement to purchase defined quantities of aviation fuel from a third party at defined prices. Cap arrangements consist of an agreement
to purchase defined quantities of aviation fuel from a third party using pricing mechanisms that are designed to minimize our exposure to fuel price fluctuations.

Subject to market conditions, we may implement fare increases to offset increases in the price of fuel. Due to competitive pressures, the airline industry has frequently been unable to pass on such fuel price increases through higher fares.
There can be no assurance that any such fare increases will completely offset higher fuel costs or not adversely impact our competitive position. Despite the significant impact of fuel costs on our operating results, we have been able to achieve
improvements in our operating margins through the addition of new, fuel-efficient B717 and B737 aircraft which consume significantly less fuel than the aircraft that have been replaced. In September 2005, we began installing winglets on a number of
our B737s which will further improve their fuel efficiency. While we believe the fuel efficiency of our fleet offers us a competitive advantage over many of our competitors who operate less fuel-efficient aircraft, increases in fuel costs
which are not offset by our fuel purchase arrangements or fare increases may be expected to have an adverse effect on our future operating margins.

Maintenance, Repairs and Training

As of March 1, 2006, our operating fleet consisted of 85 B717s and 23 B737s having a
weighted-average age of approximately three years. In June 2004, we took delivery of our first new B737 aircraft. Our B737 airframes and engines will be under warranty for a minimum of three years from the date of delivery. We also believe the
long-term estimated cost of maintenance to fly our aircraft will be within industry norms. We will be required to comply with new FAA regulations or Airworthiness Directives that may be promulgated in the future. There can be no assurance that our
maintenance expenses (including costs to comply with aging aircraft requirements) will fall within industry norms.

Aircraft airframe maintenance and
repair consists of routine and non-routine daily maintenance and heavy maintenance checks. Routine and non-routine daily maintenance is performed in Atlanta, Orlando, Baltimore, Fort Lauderdale, Dallas and Tampa by our employees and by contractors
at the other cities we serve. Heavy maintenance is performed by outside maintenance contractors. Maintenance repair costs for major components on our B717 aircraft fleet, including engines and auxiliary power units (APUs) are covered under
maintenance agreements with FAA approved contractors and are expensed as incurred. As aircraft age, the manufacturers warranty period ends. During 2004, the warranty period for certain of the B717 aircraft ended, and all engine warranties
expired at December 31, 2003. We expect maintenance costs will increase as aircraft come out of warranty and as more scheduled maintenance becomes due.

##### Table of Contents

Our maintenance technicians undergo extensive initial and ongoing training to ensure the safety of our aircraft. The FAA
recently awarded us with the Air Maintenance Technical Diamond Certificate of Excellence for Maintenance Training, the FAAs highest maintenance award. This marks the tenth consecutive year we have received this award for exceeding the required
levels of safety training for our maintenance technicians.

Insurance

We carry customary levels of passenger liability insurance, aircraft insurance for aircraft loss or damage, war-risk insurance and other business insurance. We believe our insurance coverage in these areas is
adequate. We are exposed to potential catastrophic losses that may be incurred in the event of an aircraft accident. Any such accident could involve not only repair or replacement of a damaged aircraft and its consequent temporary or permanent loss
from service but also significant potential claims of injured passengers and others. We currently maintain liability insurance in amounts and of the type which we believe are consistent with industry practice. Although we currently believe our
insurance coverage is adequate, there can be no assurance that the amount of such coverage will not be changed or that we will not be forced to bear substantial losses from accidents. Substantial claims resulting from an accident in excess of
related insurance coverage or not covered by our insurance could have a material adverse effect on us.

Following the terrorist attacks, commercial
aviation insurers significantly increased the premiums and reduced the amount of war-risk coverage available to commercial carriers. The federal government stepped in to provide supplemental third-party war-risk insurance coverage to commercial
carriers for renewable 60-day periods, at substantially lower premiums than prevailing commercial rates and for levels of coverage not available in the commercial market. In November 2002, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002,
which mandated the federal government to provide third party, passenger, and hull war-risk insurance coverage to commercial carriers through August 31, 2003, and which permitted such coverage to be extended by the government through
December 31, 2003. The Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) extended the governments mandate to provide war-risk insurance until December 31, 2004. Pursuant to the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005, Congress further extended the governments mandate to provide war-risk insurance until August 31, 2005 at the discretion of the Secretary of Transportation. During 2005, the coverage was extended in
six month increments. Currently we have received certification of coverage through August 31, 2006.

Airport Operations

Ground handling services typically are of two types: under-wing only and complete ground handling. Under-wing ground handling services include, but are not limited to,
marshaling the aircraft into and out of the gate, baggage and mail loading and unloading, lavatory and water servicing, de-icing and certain other services. Complete ground handling consists of public contact and under-wing services combined.

We conduct complete ground handling services in 37 airports, including Atlanta. At other airports, the operations not conducted by our employees are
contracted to other air carriers, ground handling companies or fixed base operators. We have employees at each of these cities to oversee our operations.

Government Regulations

The airline industry is highly competitive, primarily due to the effects of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978,
which substantially eliminated government authority to regulate domestic routes and fares. Deregulation has increased the ability of airlines to compete with respect to destination, flight frequencies and fares. Nevertheless, the airline industry
remains highly regulated in other aspects, as more fully described below.

DOT Oversight

Although the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 abolished regulation of domestic routes and fares, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) retains the
authority to alter or amend any airlines certificate or



12

##### Table of Contents

to revoke such certificate for intentional failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the certificate. In
addition, the DOT has jurisdiction over international tariffs and pricing, international routes, computer reservation systems, and economic and consumer protection matters such as advertising, denied boarding compensation, smoking and codeshare
arrangements and has the authority to impose civil penalties for violation of the United States Transportation Code or DOT regulations.

Aircraft
Maintenance and Operations

We are subject to the jurisdiction of the FAA with respect to aircraft maintenance and operations, including equipment,
dispatch, communications, training, flight personnel and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA has the authority to issue new or additional regulations. To ensure compliance with its regulations, the FAA conducts regular safety audits and
requires all airlines to obtain operating, airworthiness and other certificates, which are subject to suspension or revocation for cause.

We cannot
predict the cost of compliance with all present and future rules and regulations and the effect of such compliance on our business, particularly our expansion plans and aircraft acquisition program.

Federal Aviation Taxes and Passenger Facility Charges

In 1997, a law
was enacted imposing new aviation ticket taxes as part of larger tax legislation designed to balance the nations budget and provide targeted tax relief as well as fund air traffic control, other FAA programs and airport development. As
enacted, these new taxes will be imposed through September 30, 2007. Currently, the federal excise tax on tickets is 7.5 percent of the base fare with a segment fee of $3.30 per passenger enplanement, up to $6.60 each way or $13.20 per round
trip.

During 1990, Congress enacted legislation to permit airport authorities, with prior approval from the DOT, to impose passenger facility charges as a
means of funding local airport projects. These charges, which are intended to be collected by the airlines from their passengers, range from $3.00 to $4.50 per enplanement up to $18 per round trip.

Fuel Tax

We pay federal, state, and other taxes on fuel. We paid
approximately $41.4 million, $28.8 million, and $20.2 million in fuel taxes during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Additional Security and Safety
Measures

In 1996 and 1997, the Presidents Commission on Aviation Safety and Security issued recommendations and the U.S. Congress and the FAA
adopted increased safety and security measures designed to increase airline passenger safety and security and protect against terrorist acts. Such measures have resulted in additional operating costs to the airline industry. Examples of increased
safety and security measures include the introduction of a domestic passenger manifest requirement, increased passenger profiling, enhanced pre-board screening of passengers and carry-on baggage, positive bag match for profile selections, continuous
physical bag search at checkpoints, additional airport security personnel, expanded criminal background checks for selected airport employees, significantly expanded use of bomb sniffing dogs, certification of screening companies, aggressive testing
of existing security systems, expansion of aging aircraft inspections to include nonstructural components and development of a new systems approach for air carriers and the FAA to monitor and improve safety oversight and installation of new ground
proximity warning systems on all commercial aircraft.

The Aviation and Transportation Security Act, or the Aviation Security Act, was enacted in
November 2001 and federalized substantially all aspects of civil aviation security and required, among other things, the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, or the TSA, to oversee all aviation security and the implementation
of certain security measures by airlines and airports, such as the requirement that all passenger bags be screened for explosives. Funding for airline and airport security under the law is partially

provided by a per enplanement ticket tax of up to $5.00 each way or $10.00 per round trip, with authority granted to the
TSA to impose additional fees on the air carriers if necessary to cover additional federal aviation security costs. The security tax is currently $2.50 per enplaned passenger each way and has been imposed since February 18, 2002, the date the
TSA began taking responsibility for airport security. Pursuant to its authority, the TSA may revise the way it assesses this fee, which could result in increased costs for us. We cannot forecast what additional security and safety requirements may
be imposed in the future or the costs or revenue impact that would be associated with complying with such requirements.

Miscellaneous

All air carriers are subject to certain provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, because of their extensive use of radio and other communication
facilities, and are required to obtain an aeronautical radio license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). To the extent we are subject to FCC requirements, we have taken and will continue to take all necessary steps to comply with those
requirements.

Our labor relations are covered under Title II of the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended, and are subject to the jurisdiction of the
National Mediation Board. During a period of past fuel scarcity, air carrier access to jet fuel was subject to allocation regulations promulgated by the Department of Energy. We are also subject to state and local laws and regulations at locations
where we operate and the regulations of various local authorities that operate the airports we serve. Our operations may become subject to additional federal regulatory requirements in the future.

All international service is subject to the regulatory requirements of the appropriate authorities of the other country involved. We currently operate scheduled
international service to Grand Bahamas Island. To the extent we seek to provide additional international air transportation in the future, we will be required to obtain necessary authority from the DOT and the applicable foreign government.

Environmental Regulations

The Airport Noise and
Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA) generally recognizes the rights of airport operators with noise problems to implement local noise abatement programs so long as they do not interfere unreasonably with interstate or foreign commerce or the national air
transportation system. The ANCA generally requires FAA approval of local noise restrictions on Stage 3 aircraft first effective after October 1990. While we have had sufficient scheduling flexibility to accommodate local noise restrictions imposed
to date, our operations could be adversely affected if locally-imposed regulations become more restrictive or widespread.

The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) regulates operations including air carrier operations, which affect the quality of air in the United States. We believe the aircraft in our fleet meet all emission standards issued by the EPA.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risk factors set forth elsewhere in this annual report, including, without
limitation, in Items 1, 7, 7a, and 9a, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before making investment decisions regarding our securities.

Our business is dependent on the availability and price of aircraft fuel.

Aircraft fuel is a significant expenditure
and accounted for 32.4 percent, 24.8 percent and 21.5 percent of our 2005, 2004 and 2003 operating expenses, respectively. Due to the effect of economic events on the price and availability of oil, the future availability and cost of aircraft fuel
cannot be predicted with any degree of

certainty. Although we are currently able to obtain adequate supplies of aircraft fuel, it is impossible to predict the
future availability or price of aircraft fuel. Political disruptions or wars involving oil-producing countries, changes in government policy concerning the production, transportation or marketing of aircraft fuel, changes in aircraft fuel production
capacity, environmental concerns and other unpredictable events may result in fuel supply shortages and additional fuel price increases in the future. For 2006, if jet fuel increased $1 per barrel, our fuel expense, net of fuel contract
arrangements, would increase approximately $5.3 million based on current and projected operations.

Our operations are largely dependant upon the
availability of fuel in the Gulf Coast.

Our operations are largely concentrated in the Southeast United States with Atlanta being the highest volume
fueling point in our system. In addition, over 70% of our fuel contracts are based on prices of jet fuel produced in the Gulf Coast area. Any disruption to the oil production or refinery in the Gulf Coast, as a result of weather or any other
disaster could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations not only in our East Coast routes but across our network due to disruptions in supply of jet fuel, dramatic escalations in the costs of jet fuel,
and/or the failure of fuel providers to perform under our fixed-price fuel purchase agreements, among other potential effects.

Increased labor cost,
employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions may adversely affect our results of operations.

Labor costs constitute a significant percentage of
our total operating costs. A substantial portion of our workforce is represented by labor unions and covered by collective bargaining agreements. Our agreement with our dispatchers, who are represented by the Transport Workers Union
(TWU), was ratified in October 2004 and becomes amendable in January 2009. Our agreement with our pilots, who are represented by the National Pilots Association (NPA), was ratified in August 2001 and became amendable April
2005. The agreement is currently in mediation under the auspices of the National Mediation Board. We have four separate agreements with employee groups represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). Our agreement with
our maintenance technicians and inspectors was ratified in October 2005 and becomes amendable in October 2009. The agreement with our technical training instructors was ratified in March 2001 and becomes amendable in March 2006. The agreement with
our stores clerks was ratified in June 2001 and becomes amendable in June 2006. Our agreement with our ground service equipment employees was ratified October 2001 and becomes amendable in October 2006. We have a collective bargaining agreement with
our flight attendants who are represented by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA). Our agreement with the flight attendants was ratified in June 2006 and becomes amendable in December 2008.

While we believe that our relations with labor are generally good, any strike or labor dispute with our unionized employees may adversely affect our ability to conduct
business. The outcome of our collective bargaining negotiations cannot presently be determined. If we are unable to reach agreement with any of our unionized work groups on future negotiations regarding the terms of their collective bargaining
agreements or if additional segments of our workforce become unionized, we may be subject to work interruptions or stoppages.

We have a significant amount of fixed obligations that could impair our ability to make principal and interest
payments on our debt obligations and lease payments on our lease obligations.

We have significant debt obligations and lease obligations for aircraft
and operating facilities. We may incur substantial additional debt related to aircraft deliveries, new facilities, or facility upgrades, or to fund potential acquisitions. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal or interest for our financing
obligations depends on our future performance and financial results. These results are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are, to some extent, beyond our control.

The amount of our debt could have important consequences to investors, including the following:



| |  |  | A substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to debt service and will not be available for operations; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to obtain additional financing for aircraft purchases, capital expenditures, working capital or general corporate purposes could be limited.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our business is dependent on technology

We are increasingly
dependent on technology initiatives to reduce costs and to maintain and enhance customer service in order to compete in the current business environment. For example, we have made significant investments in our web site technology and Bye-Pass
 check-in kiosks, and related initiatives across the system. The performance and reliability of our technology are critical to our ability to attract and retain customers and our ability to compete effectively.

Any internal technology error or failure, or large scale external interruption in technology infrastructure we depend on, such as power, telecommunications or the
internet, may disrupt our technology network. Any individual, sustained or repeated failure of our technology could impact our customer service and result in increased costs. Like all companies, our technology systems may be vulnerable to a variety
of sources of interruption due to events beyond our control including natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hackers and other security issues. While we have in place and continue to invest in technology
security initiatives and disaster recovery plans, these measures may not be adequate or implemented properly to prevent a business disruption and its adverse financial consequences to our business.

Covenants in our debt instruments could limit how we conduct our business, which could affect our long-term growth potential.

Our debt instruments and financing agreements contain, or in the future may contain, covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to:



| |  |  | Pay dividends and/or other distributions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Enter into mergers, consolidations or other business combinations; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Acquire new aircraft.
| | - |  | ---------------------

As a result of these restrictive covenants, we may
be limited in how we conduct business, and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns, to compete effectively, or to take advantage of new business opportunities. This may
affect our ability to generate revenues and make profits.

##### Table of Contents

Our failure to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our indentures and other financing agreements
could lead to a default under the terms of those agreements. If such a default occurs, the other parties to these agreements could declare all amounts borrowed and all amounts due under other instruments that contain provisions for
cross-acceleration or cross-default due and payable. If that occurs, we may not be able to make payments on our debt, meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, or be able to find additional alternative financing on favorable or
acceptable terms.

We are subject to various risks as a result of our fleet concentration in B717s.

While we have been adding B737s to our fleet since June 2004, our fleet currently consists primarily of B717 aircraft. Although we derive certain benefits in terms of
reduced maintenance, training and other costs as a result, a concentration of our fleet in primarily one aircraft type may expose us to certain risks in the event of, among other things, FAA action to ground that aircraft generally if actual or
suspected defects were discovered in the future unique to that aircraft. Certain other carriers operating with more diversified fleets could be better able to withstand any such future event. In January 2005, the manufacturer of the B717 announced
the discontinuance of the production of B717 aircraft in 2006. As a result, we expect to experience increased costs in later years in connection with parts acquisition and/or maintenance for such aircraft.

Our operating results may suffer because of competition in the low-fare airline markets we serve.

The airline industry in general and the low-fare sector in particular is highly competitive and is served by numerous companies. We may face greater competition in the future. Any increased competition could have a
negative impact on our business and operating results.

The profitability of our operations is influenced by economic conditions as demand for
discretionary travel diminishes during economic downturns.

The profitability of our operations is influenced by the condition of the United States
economy, which may impact the demand for discretionary travel and our competitive pricing position. A substantial portion of our business is discretionary travel, which declines during economic downturns.

We depend heavily on the Atlanta market to be successful.

Our
business strategy has historically focused on adding flights to and from our Atlanta base of operations. We continue to expand the scope and growth of our route network to increase the amount of non-Atlanta flights; going from approximately 10
percent of our daily departures outside of Atlanta during 2000 to approximately 32 percent of our daily departures by year-end 2005. While we have reduced our dependence on Atlanta, a non-strategic, external reduction in our share of the Atlanta
market or reduced passenger traffic to or from Atlanta could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our dependence on a primary hub and on a route network operating largely on the East Coast
makes us more susceptible to adverse weather conditions and other traffic delays along the East Coast than some of our competitors that may be better able to spread these traffic risks over larger route networks.

Our maintenance costs are expected to increase.

Our recent
maintenance expenses have been lower than what we expect to incur in the future because of the young age of our B717 and B737 aircraft fleet. Our maintenance costs are expected to increase as these aircraft age and utilization increases.

Our reputation and financial results could be negatively affected in the event of a major aircraft accident.

An accident involving one of our aircraft could involve not only repair or replacement of the damaged aircraft and its consequent temporary or
permanent loss from service but also significant potential claims of injured passengers and others. Moreover, any aircraft accident, even if fully insured, could cause a public perception that our aircraft are less safe or reliable than other
airlines, and that could have a negative effect on our business. The occurrence of one or more incidents or accidents involving our aircraft could have a material adverse effect on the publics perception of us and our future operations.

We are required by the DOT to carry liability insurance on each of our aircraft. We currently maintain liability insurance in amounts and of the type
consistent with industry practice. Although we currently believe our insurance coverage is adequate, the amount of such coverage may be changed in the future or we may be forced to bear substantial losses from accidents. Substantial claims resulting
from an accident in excess of related insurance coverage could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.

We are subject to
extensive regulation by the FAA, the DOT, and other governmental agencies, compliance with which could cause us to incur increased costs and negatively affect our business and financial results.

We are subject to a wide range of governmental regulation, including regulation by the FAA. A modification, suspension or revocation of any of our FAA authorizations or
certificates could adversely impact our business.

Additional laws and regulations have been proposed that could significantly increase the cost of airline
operations by imposing additional requirements or restrictions on operations. Laws and regulations have also been considered that would prohibit or restrict the ownership and/or transfer of airline routes or takeoff and landing slots. Also, the
availability of international routes to United States carriers is regulated by treaties and related agreements between the United States and foreign governments that are amendable. We cannot predict what laws and regulations may be adopted or their
impact and we cannot guarantee that laws or regulations currently proposed or enacted in the future will not adversely affect us.

The United States
government currently provides insurance coverage for certain claims resulting from acts of terrorism, war or similar events. Should this coverage no longer be offered, the coverage that would be available to us through commercial aviation insurers
may have substantially less desirable terms, result in higher costs and not be adequate to protect our risk, any of which could harm our business.

Future acts of terrorism or escalation of U.S. military involvement overseas could adversely affect the airline industry.

Even if not
directed at the airline industry, a future act of terrorism, the threat of such acts or escalation of United States military involvement overseas could have an adverse effect on the airline industry. In the event of a terrorist attack, the airline
industry would likely experience significantly reduced demand. We cannot give assurance you that these actions, or consequences resulting from these actions, will not harm our business or the airline industry generally.

The airline industry has incurred significant losses resulting in airline restructurings and bankruptcies, which could
result in changes in our industry.

As a result of slower general economic conditions, the continuing impact of the 2001 terrorist attacks, the high
price of fuel and military action in Iraq, the airline industry has experienced a decline in demand which has resulted in record financial losses. In response to the adverse financial results the airline industry has experienced, most airlines have
taken actions in an effort to reduce losses, such as reducing capacity, reducing employee headcount, limiting service offerings, renegotiating labor contracts and reconfiguring flight schedules, as well as other efficiency and cost-cutting measures.
Despite these actions, financial losses in the airline industry have continued through 2005 and it is foreseeable that further airline reorganizations, bankruptcies or consolidations may occur, which could serve to reduce our cost advantage. We
cannot assure you that the occurrence of these events or potential changes resulting from these events will not harm our business or the airline industry generally.

Major airlines are reducing their cost structures through various methods, these changes could reduce our cost advantage.

Airline strategic combinations or industry consolidations could have an impact on our operations in ways yet to be determined.

The
strategic environment in the airline industry changes from time to time as carriers implement varying strategies in pursuit of profitability including consolidation to expand operations and increase market strength and entering into global alliance
arrangements. Similarly, the bankruptcy or reorganization of one or more of our competitors may result in rapid changes to the identity of our competitors in particular markets, a substantial reduction in the operating costs of our competitors or
the entry of new competitors into some or all of the markets we serve.

Additionally, we have sought to acquire gates and other assets from other carriers.
In the event we complete one or more acquisitions, we may be subject to a variety of risks including risks associated with an ability to integrate acquired assets or operations into our existing operations, higher costs or unexpected difficulties or
problems with acquired assets or entities including different flight equipment, outdated or incompatible technologies, labor difficulties or an inability to realize anticipated synergies and efficiencies; whether within anticipated timeframes or at
all, one or more of such risks, if realized, could have an adverse impact on our operations.

We are unable to predict exactly what effect, if any, changes
in the strategic landscape might have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

YEAR IN REVIEW

2005
was another challenging year for the airline industry; the year was marked by intense competition, high energy prices, hurricanes, and capacity growth by airlines. As a result we have seen three of our competitors enter bankruptcy with one
competitor liquidating in early 2006. At one point during 2005 nearly half of all of the domestic U.S. capacity was in bankruptcy. Despite the challenges of 2005, we concluded the year as one of a few domestic passenger airlines to report a profit,
recording $8.1 million in net income for the year.

The revenue environment improved throughout 2005 as several carriers reduced capacity. In our markets
the competitive capacity reductions have been in the range of 12% to 15% year over year. It is likely that further reductions in overall capacity will occur, including in the markets we serve.

Our business model is based in part on low costs and our success in reducing costs has ensured our ability to persevere through the difficult economic environment we
have faced, not only during 2005 but also during prior years as well. Our low costs have also given us a strategic advantage that allows us to grow profitably while our competitors have been unable to do the same. As a result a number of airlines
have incurred substantial losses in 2005 and are attempting to restructure their operations, gain wage concessions from their employees and lower their costs, including filing for bankruptcy protection.

Highlights from 2005 include the following:



| |  |  | Secured financing on all pre-delivery purchase deposits through 2007
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Ratified agreements with our flight attendants and mechanics and inspectors
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Named Best Low-Fare Airline by Entrepreneur Magazine for 2005
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Initiated new service to Richmond, Indianapolis, Charlotte, and Detroit
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Secured financing commitments for all 2006 aircraft deliveries
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Received top FAA recognition for maintenance excellence
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

2005 Compared to 2004

Summary

We recorded operating income of $23.5 million, net income of $8.1 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.09 for the year ended
December 31, 2005. For the comparative period in 2004, we recorded operating income of $29.5 million, net income of $10.1 million, and diluted earnings per common share of $0.11. These 2004 results included $1.3 million in other income
(expense), primarily related to payment of a break-up fee to us in connection with our unsuccessful bid for certain leased gates and other assets of another airline at Chicagos Midway airport and $1.5 million of additional expense relating to
correction of fuel expense from prior period. The adjustment was deemed to not be material to the previously issued financial statements and that the cumulative adjustment was not material to our 2004 operating results.

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 increased $409.1 million (39.3 percent), primarily due to a 39.0 percent increase in passenger revenues. The increase in passenger revenues was largely due to a 33.3 percent increase in passengers, as measured by revenue
passenger miles (RPMs), and an increase in our average yield per RPM of 4.2 percent to 12.36 cents per RPM. The increase in yield resulted primarily from a 10.0 percent increase in our average fare to $83.98. This increase in yield, when combined
with our 2.7 percentage point increase in passenger load factor, resulted in an 8.3 percent increase in passenger unit revenues or passenger revenue available seat miles (RASM) to 9.09 cents per ASM.

##### Table of Contents

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, we took delivery of six B717 aircraft and 12 B737 aircraft. As a
result, our capacity, as measured by available seat miles (ASMs), increased 28.3 percent. Our traffic, as measured by RPMs, increased 33.3 percent, resulting in a 2.7 percentage point increase in passenger load factor to 73.5 percent.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 increased $415.1 million (41.0 percent) or 9.8 percent on an ASM basis. Our financial results were significantly affected by changes in the price of fuel. During 2005 we experienced record high aircraft fuel prices
driven by sharp increases in the cost of crude oil and disruptions to the Gulf Coast refineries as a result of hurricanes.

In general, our operating
expenses are significantly affected by changes in our capacity, as measured by ASMs. The following table presents our unit costs, defined as operating expenses per ASM, for the indicated periods:

Aircraft fuel increased 43.3 percent on an ASM basis, primarily due to escalating fuel prices. Our fuel
price per gallon, including all fees and taxes, increased 48.3 percent from $1.22 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 to $1.81 for twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The level of our flight operations, as measured by block
hours flown, increased 23.3 percent while our fuel consumption per block hour increased slightly 0.6 percent to 667 gallons. In a continued effort to reduce our fuel costs, we have begun adding winglets to our B737 aircraft as they are delivered.
These enhancements extend the aircraft range, improve performance, and reduce fuel costs.

Salaries, wages and benefits decreased 6.1 percent on an
ASM basis, primarily due to gains in productivity driven by the increased number of aircraft and higher daily utilization. We employed approximately 6,700 full-time equivalent employees, as of December 31, 2005, representing a 13.5 percent
increase over the comparative period in 2004.

Maintenance, materials and repairs increased 13.8 percent on an ASM basis. On a block hour basis,
maintenance costs increased 18.8 percent to $266 per block hour due to the expiration of warranties on the B717 aircraft and an increase in airframe checks. As the original manufacturer warranties expire on our

B717 and B737 aircraft, the maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft engines and a significant number of aircraft
systems become covered by maintenance agreements with FAA-approved contractors. Under our maintenance agreements, we pay monthly charges based on either the number of flight hours flown or the number of landings.

Aircraft insurance and security services decreased 21.1 percent on an ASM basis. While the addition of 18 new Boeing aircraft to our fleet for the twelve-month
period ending December 31, 2005 increased our total insured hull value and related insurance premiums, the decrease on an ASM basis is primarily due to a reduction in hull and liability insurance rates and security costs for our 2005 fleet
coverage.

Depreciation increased 8.3 percent on an ASM basis, primarily due to the addition of three B737 for the twelve-month period ending
December 31, 2005 as well as, the purchase of spare aircraft parts for the new B737 fleet. With the exception of the three B737s, all aircraft additions during the year were lease financed rather than purchased.

Nonoperating (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense, net
decreased by $2.4 million (18.4 percent). Increases in rates earned on cash and higher investment balances increased interest income by $6.5 million. Interest expense increased by $5.3 million and debt issuance cost amortization expense increased by
$1.1 million, primarily due to the issuance of new debt relating to new aircraft financing during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Capitalized interest income increased $3.6 million due to a $63.7 million increase in progress payment
balances on aircraft commitments in 2005 compared to 2004. Additionally $1.3 million of other income is included in our 2004 results relating to payment of a break-up fee to us in connections with our unsuccessful bid for certain leased gates and
other assets of another airline at Chicagos Midway airport.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 38.0 percent and 39.4 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Our tax expense for December 31, 2005 includes a one-time benefit of
$1.7 million resulting from an adjustment to our deferred tax liabilities for a decrease in our state effective rate. The overall rate increase resulted primarily from permanent differences related to stock compensation.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, NOL carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $257.4 million and $236.8 million, respectively, which begin to expire
in 2017. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized due to the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected short term income, therefore no valuation allowance has been recorded at
December 31, 2005 and 2004.

2004 Compared to 2003

Summary

Our performance during 2004 marked a major financial milestone  we surpassed one billion dollars in total revenues for the
year. We recorded operating income of $29.5 million, net income of $10.1 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.11 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. These 2004 results reflect a $1.3 million credit primarily related to
our unsuccessful bid for certain leased gates and other assets of another airline at Chicagos Midway airport. For the comparative period in 2003, we recorded operating income of $86.3 million, net income of $100.5 million, and diluted
earnings per common share of $1.21. Additionally, we recorded expense of $1.5 million in the first quarter 2004 related to an error in our fuel expense on periods prior to 2004. The adjustment was deemed to not be material to the previously
issued financial statements and that the cumulative adjustment was not material to our 2004 operating results.

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 increased $123.4 million (13.4 percent), primarily due to a 13.0 percent increase in passenger revenues. The increase in passenger revenues was largely due to an 18.7
percent increase in traffic, as measured by revenue passenger miles (RPMs), offset by a decrease in our average yield per RPM of 4.8 percent to 11.86 cents per RPM. The decrease in yield resulted from a 5.1 percent increase in our average passenger
trip length to 644 miles combined with a 0.1 percent decrease in our average fare to $76.33. This decrease in yield, when combined with our 0.3 percentage point decrease in passenger load factor, resulted in a 5.3 percent decrease in passenger unit
revenues or passenger revenue available seat miles (RASM) to 8.39 cents per ASM.

We placed an order with an aircraft manufacturer in 2003 for up to 110
aircraft, including options and purchase rights. During the twelve months ended twelve months ended December 31, 2004, we took delivery of six B717 aircraft and eight B737 aircraft and retired one McDonnell Douglas DC-9 aircraft. As a result,
our capacity, as measured by available seat miles (ASMs), increased 19.2 percent. Our traffic, as measured by RPMs, increased 18.7 percent, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point decrease in passenger load factor to 70.8 percent.

Other revenues increased $8.1 (28.7 percent) million, primarily due to fees earned from our AirTran Airways branded credit card issued by a third party financial
institution, in addition to change and cancellation fees derived from our overall increase in traffic.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 increased $180.2 million (21.7 percent) or increased 2.1 percent on an ASM basis. In general,
our operating expenses are significantly affected by changes in our capacity, as measured by ASMs. In addition, our financial results are significantly affected by changes in the fuel price. During 2004, we experienced then record aircraft fuel
prices derived from sharp increases in the cost of crude oil. The following table presents our unit costs, defined as operating expenses per ASM, for the indicated period:

Aircraft fuel, including fuel-hedging activities, increased 17.9 percent on an ASM basis. The cost of aircraft
fuel reached then record highs during 2004 with our average per gallon cost, including all fees, taxes, and hedging activities increasing 24.0 percent to $1.22. Our overall fuel consumption also increased 13.4 percent primarily due to the growth of
our operations. Improvements to our fuel consumption per block hour partially offset our greater fuel consumption and the record price increases. Our fuel consumption improved 2.0 percent per block hour compared to 2003. Our fuel performance
improvements directly relate to our transition to an aircraft fleet comprised of two aircraft types that are significantly more fuel-efficient than the DC-9s that were replaced. We retired our last DC-9 aircraft at the beginning of 2004 and accepted
delivery of fourteen new B737 and B717 aircraft during the remainder of the year. Our fixed-price fuel contracts and fuel cap contracts reduced our fuel expense by $38.6 million and $7.4 million during 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Maintenance, materials and repairs decreased 7.9 percent on an ASM basis. On a block hour basis, maintenance costs decreased 3.0 percent to approximately $224 per
block hour. As the original manufacturer warranties expire on our B717 aircraft the maintenance, repair and overhaul of major aircraft engine, parts and components become covered by previously negotiated agreements with FAA-approved maintenance
contractors. Contractually we pay monthly fees based on the level of our operations, generally measured by either the number of flight hours flown or the number of landings. Our increased level of operations during the year and the related costs
associated with our maintenance agreements predominantly account for the overall increase in this area.

Distribution costs decreased 6.7 percent on
an ASM basis primarily due to the overall decrease of passenger revenues derived from travel agency sales. Although total distribution costs have increased, these costs as a percentage of passenger revenues have decreased as more of our passengers
have shifted their bookings directly onto our website. We recognize significant cost savings when our sales are booked directly through our website as opposed to more traditional methods, such as travel agents.

Depreciation decreased 7.7 percent on an ASM basis. Overall depreciation expense increased due to the purchase of two new B737 aircraft. However, with the
exception of two B737s, all aircraft additions during the year were lease-financed rather than purchased.

Non-operating Expenses

Other (income) expense, net increased by $13.7 million primarily due to the receipt in 2003 of a government reimbursement pursuant to the Wartime Act of $38.1
million, partially offset by a $12.3 million charge related to the write off of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs due to the early retirement of debt and of conversion of debt to equity and by a $8.9 million reduction in 2004 in interest
expense as a result of having reduced our outstanding debt obligations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of funds is cash provided by operations and cash provided by financing activities. Our primary uses of cash are for working capital (including labor
and fuel costs), capital expenditures and general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition of other airlines and their assets, whether in connection with bankruptcy proceedings relating to such carriers of their assets or otherwise in
other investments in strategic alliances, code-sharing agreements or other business arrangements.

##### Table of Contents

Our total cash, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments totaled $390.1 million
and $342.3 million at December 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Short-term investments represent auction rate securities with reset periods less than 12 months.

Operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 generated $64.6 million of cash compared to $38.1 million for the comparable period in 2004. The increase was, primarily, due to an
increase in passenger bookings for future travel, a decrease in prepaid fuel inventories and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due primarily to deferred credits that we received during 2005 and an increase in our outstanding
payables due to increased operations. This was offset by lower net income, an increase in other assets, primarily prepaid aircraft rent and maintenance reserves, and an increase in restricted cash during 2005 for our outstanding letters of credits.

Investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 used $80.2 million in cash compared to $73.3 million in 2004. Our investing
activities primarily consist of capital expenditures related to aircraft, aircraft purchase deposits required for scheduled deliveries in future periods and purchases and sales of auction rate securities that for cash investments. Additionally, cash
is used for the purchase of spare parts and equipment related to the B717 and B737 aircraft fleets.

Financing activities for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2005 generated $78.6 million of cash compared to $3.9 million for the comparable period in 2004. During 2005, we generated cash from the issuance of debt financing for aircraft pre-delivery deposits of $96.7 million, offset
by debt repayments of $24.6 million.

|(1) | Includes related interest payments, forecasted at the current interest rates, on the aforementioned debt of approximately $268 million. The schedule above assumes that we will lease
all aircraft, except for fifteen aircraft committed under debt financing, even though financing has not been arranged for all aircraft. Debt agreements generally carry terms of twelve years and are repaid either quarterly or semiannually. Lease
agreements are generally for fifteen to nineteen years.

A variety of assumptions are necessary in order to derive the information with
respect to contractual commitments described in the above table, including, but not limited to (i) the timing of the aircraft delivery dates; and (ii) estimated rental factors which are correlated to floating interest rates prior to
delivery. Rental factors on future aircraft deliveries are estimated at the current rate plus an estimated monthly increase of 0.5 percent per month. Our actual obligations may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.

Aircraft Purchase Commitments:

In the year ended December 31, 2005, we took delivery of six B717 and 12 B737 aircraft of which six B717 and nine B737 were leased, under operating leases. The three additional B737 aircraft were purchased and
financed with debt.

As of December 31, 2005, we had on order two Boeing 717 aircraft with delivery dates in 2006 and 55 Boeing 737 aircraft with
delivery dates between 2006 and 2009. In January 2006, we exercised an option for the delivery of one additional B737 with a 2007 delivery date.

The table
below illustrates all aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2010, including the effect of the aforementioned transaction:

Of the 56 B737 aircraft on order, we secured lease financing on seven of the aircraft through an arrangement with
an aircraft leasing company and have secured debt financing for 15 B737 aircraft through arrangements with financial institutions. Additionally, we have entered into sale/leaseback transactions with the aircraft leasing company referred to above
with respect to six related spare engines to be delivered through 2010.

During 2006, we are scheduled to take delivery of two remaining B717 aircraft,
which are to be leased through an affiliate of the aircraft manufacturer. Additionally we are scheduled to take delivery of 18 B737 aircraft during 2006, of which seven of such B737 aircraft are to be acquired pursuant to individual operating leases
through the aircraft leasing arrangements and 11 B737 aircraft are to be financed through debt. Additionally, we have entered into sale/leaseback transactions with that aircraft leasing company with respect to six related spare engines to be
delivered between the remainder of 2005 and 2010.

During 2005, in connection with our agreements with an aircraft manufacturer, Airways was refunded $29.8
million in previously paid aircraft deposits while paying $9.5 million in new aircraft deposits under the agreement for the acquisition of B737 aircraft.

Debt:

Permanent Aircraft Financing Facilities:

Through December 31, 2005, we have entered into three separate facilities (each a permanent facility) for purposes of financing the acquisition of B737 aircraft on order with an aircraft manufacturer.

We entered into the first permanent facility in August 2004, pursuant to which we financed the acquisition of three B737 aircraft. We took delivery of the
three B737 aircraft in August 2004, July 2005 and August 2005, respectively. In conjunction with the financing of these B737 aircraft, we issued equipment notes as aircraft were delivered for an aggregate amount of $87.0 million, which are
scheduled to mature between August 2016 and August 2017. The equipment notes bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the six-month US Dollar London Interbank Offering rate (LIBOR) in effect at the commencement of each semi-annual period,
and payments of principal and interest under the notes are payable semi-annually. Each note is secured by a first mortgage on the aircraft to which it relates, valuing at approximately $96.5 million as of December 31, 2005.

##### Table of Contents

We entered into the second permanent facility in September 2004, pursuant to which we financed the acquisition of three
additional B737 aircraft. We took delivery of such aircraft in September 2004, June 2005 and January 2006, respectively. In conjunction with the financing of these B737 aircraft, we issued equipment notes as aircraft were delivered for an
aggregate amount of $85.5 million, which are scheduled to mature between September 2016 and January 2018. The notes bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the six-month US Dollar LIBOR in effect at the commencement of each semi-annual
period, and payments of principal and interest under the notes are payable semi-annually. Each note is secured by a first mortgage on the aircraft to which it relates, valuing at approximately $63.7 million as of December 31, 2005.

We entered into the third permanent facility in September 2005, pursuant to which we shall be entitled to borrow up to $354 million for purposes of acquiring 12 B737
aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered to us in 2006 and 2007 and satisfying our repayment obligations under a related pre-delivery payment financing facility, which is described in more detail below. On the delivery date of each aircraft
subject to this third permanent facility, we will issue equipment notes evidencing the loans made under this permanent facility for that aircraft. The equipment notes will mature on the twelfth anniversary of the delivery date of the aircraft to
which such notes relate and will be secured by the aircraft to which such loans relate. We intend to obtain a loan in respect of the first aircraft subject to this permanent facility during May 2006.

On February 14, 2006, we entered into a fourth permanent facility, pursuant to which we shall be entitled to borrow up to $58 million for purposes of acquiring two
B737 aircraft on their respective delivery dates. We obtained a loan under this fourth permanent facility on February 14, 2006 for purposes of acquiring the first of the aircraft subject to this facility. In connection with the financing of
that aircraft, we issued an equipment note for $29 million. The note is scheduled to mature during February 2018. The note bears interest at a floating rate per annum above the six-month LIBOR, and payments of principal and interest under the note
are payable semi-annually. We intend to obtain a loan in respect of the second aircraft subject to this facility during March 2006.

Pre-delivery
Payment Financings:

Through December 31, 2005, we have entered into three separate facilities (each a PDP facility) for purposes of
financing our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in respect of B737 aircraft on order with an aircraft manufacturer.

During May 2005, we closed the
first PDP facility, PDP-1, pursuant to which we were entitled to draw an amount equal to $19.6 million to fund a portion of our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in respect of six B737 aircraft scheduled to be delivered through
March 2006. Drawings made under PDP-1 bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the one-month US Dollar LIBOR. PDP-1 is secured by certain rights under our purchase agreement with an aircraft manufacturer for the six B737 aircraft. As of
December 31, 2005, PDP-1 was fully drawn and $9.9 million was outstanding thereunder. All outstanding amounts related to PDP-1 will have been repaid prior to delivery of the last of the six aircraft in March 2006.

##### Table of Contents

On September 1, 2005, we closed the second PDP facility, PDP-2, pursuant to which we are entitled to
draw amounts sufficient to fund all of our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in respect of 12 B737 aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered in 2006 and 2007. PDP-2 was entered into in conjunction with the September 2005 permanent
facility for $354 million as described above. Drawings made under PDP-2 bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the one-month US Dollar LIBOR. PDP-2 is secured by certain rights under our purchase agreement with an aircraft manufacturer for
the 12 B737 aircraft. As of December 31, 2005, $57.2 million is outstanding under PDP-2, which is equivalent to pre-delivery payments due and paid by us to the aircraft manufacturer for the 12 B737 aircraft through such date. We intend to make
additional drawings under PDP-2 for approximately $264.2 million through February 2006, at which time our deposit requirements for the 12 aircraft will be met.

On December 7, 2005, we closed the third PDP facility, PDP-3, pursuant to which we are entitled to draw amounts up to $65 million to fund a portion of our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in respect of 19 B737
aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered in 2007 and 2008. Drawings made under PDP-3 bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the one-month US Dollar LIBOR. PDP-3 is secured by certain rights under our purchase agreement with an aircraft
manufacturer for the 19 B737 aircraft. As of December 31, 2005, $20.0 million is outstanding under PDP-3. We intend to make additional drawings under PDP-3 for approximately $45 million, through April 2007, at which time the deposit
requirements for the 19 aircraft will have been met.

Credit Agreement:

During April 2005, we signed a new credit agreement with a bank lender. The new credit agreement included a revolving line of credit for up to $25 million, and, additionally, allowed us to obtain letters of credit for
up to $15 million and enter into hedge agreements with the bank. Any advances on the revolving line of credit would bear interest at a base rate plus a margin of 1.5 percent per annum. In September 2005, as a result of obtaining additional
financing, we terminated the credit agreement in conjunction with obtaining additional financing. As a result of the termination of the line of credit, $11.3 million of restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet relates to
outstanding letters of credit, primarily for airport facilities, as of December 31, 2005.

Other Commitments:

In May 2004, we opened a two bay hangar facility at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The 56,700 square-foot hangar will hold four of our B717 aircraft
simultaneously and has a 20,000 square-foot; two-story office building attached to the hangar to house engineers and other support staff. We have a 20-year lease on the facility which expires in 2024.

Aquarium:

As a presenting sponsor of the Georgia Aquarium, we
have committed to pay $7.5 million in five yearly installments expiring October 31, 2010.

Other Sources of Liquidity:

The Company has various options available to meet its capital and operating commitments including internally generated funds and various borrowing or leasing options.
Additionally the Company has an outstanding shelf registration which it may utilize to raise funds for aircraft financings or other purposes in the future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available for all B737 aircraft deliveries
or for other capital expenditures not covered by firm financing commitments. Should fuel prices remain high and if we are unable to raise prices to cover our costs, we may slow our growth, including through the subleasing of certain numbers of our
aircraft.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

An off-balance sheet arrangement is any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity under which a company has (1) made guarantees, (2) a retained or a
contingent interest in transferred assets, (3) an obligation under derivative instruments classified as equity or (4) any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing,
liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the company, or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development arrangements with the company.

We have no arrangements of the types described in the first three categories that we believe may have a material current or future affect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Certain guarantees that we do not
expect to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, liquidity or resulted operations are disclosed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

Effective October 1, 2003, we adopted FASB Interpretation 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 requires the consolidation of certain types of entities in which a company
absorbs a majority of another entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the other entitys expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the other entity. These entities
are called variable interest entities or VIEs. The principal characteristics of VIEs are (1) an insufficient amount of equity to absorb the entitys expected losses; (2) equity owners as a group are not able to
make decisions about the entitys activities, or (3) equity that does not absorb the entitys losses or receive the entitys residual returns. Variable interests are contractual, ownership or other monetary interests
in an entity that change with fluctuations in the entitys net asset value. As a result, VIEs can arise from items such as lease agreements, loan arrangements, guarantees or service contracts.

If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the entity must be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the holder of the variable
interests that absorb a majority of the VIEs expected losses or receive a majority of the entitys residual returns in the event no holder has a majority of the expected losses. There is no primary beneficiary in cases where no single
holder absorbs the majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the residual returns. The determination of the primary beneficiary is based on projected cash flows at the inception of the variable interest.

We have variable interests in our aircraft leases. The lessors are trusts established specifically to purchase, finance and lease aircraft to us. These leasing entities
meet the criteria of VIEs. We are generally not the primary beneficiary of the leasing entities if the lease terms are consistent with market terms at the inception of the lease and do not include a residual value guarantee, a fixed-price purchase
option or similar feature that obligates us to absorb decreases in value or entitles us to participate in increases in the value of the aircraft. This is the case in the majority of our aircraft leases, however we have two aircraft leases that
contain fixed-price purchase options that allow us to purchase the aircraft at predetermined prices on specified dates during the lease term. We have not consolidated the related trusts because even taking into consideration these purchase options,
we are not the primary beneficiary based on our cash flow analysis.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

General. The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and



31



---

##### Table of Contents

related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Our actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and are sufficiently sensitive to result in materially different
results under different assumptions and conditions. The following is a description of what we believe to be our most critical accounting policies and estimates (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Revenue Recognition. Passenger revenue is recognized when transportation is provided. Ticket sales for transportation which has not yet been provided are recorded
as air traffic liability. Air traffic liability represents tickets sold for future travel dates. The balance of the air traffic liability fluctuates throughout the year based on seasonal travel patterns and fare sale activity. Nonrefundable tickets
expire one year from the date the ticket is purchased. A percentage of tickets expire unused. We estimate the amount of unused tickets based on historical experience. Passenger traffic commissions and related fees are expensed when the related
revenue is recognized. Passenger traffic commissions and related fees not yet recognized are included as a prepaid expense.

Stock-based
compensation. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R),Share Based Payment, in 2006 will require the recording of stock-based compensation expense for issuances under our equity incentive plans over their requisite service period using a
fair value approach similar to the current pro forma disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) does not mandate an option-pricing model to be used in determining fair value, but does
require that the model selected consider certain variables. Different models would result in different valuations. Regardless of the method selected, significant judgment is required for some of the valuation variables. The most significant of these
is the volatility of our common stock and the estimated term over which our stock options will be outstanding. The valuation calculation is sensitive to even slight changes in these estimates.

Although there will be no impact to our overall cash flows, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have a impact on our results of operations. Most of the stock-based
compensation expense to be recorded in 2006 will relate to restricted stock awards and purchases under our employee stock purchase plan and not to stock options, as we accelerated the vesting of 0.4 million outstanding stock options in
September 2005. We will use the modified prospective method to account for stock based compensation. We expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will reduce 2006 earnings by less than $1 million.

Frequent Flyer Program. We accrue a liability for the estimated incremental cost of providing free travel for awards earned under our A+ Rewards Program based on
awards we expect to be redeemed. We adjust this liability based on points earned and redeemed as well as for changes in the estimated incremental costs.

We also sell points in our A+ Rewards Program to third parties, such as credit card companies, internet service providers and car rental agencies. A portion of these point sales is deferred and recognized as passenger revenue when
transportation is provided. The remaining portion, which is the excess of the total sales proceeds over the estimated fair value of the transportation to be provided, is recognized in other revenue at the time of sale.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets. When appropriate, we evaluate our long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the net book



32

##### Table of Contents

value of those assets. In making these determinations, we utilize certain assumptions, including, but not limited to:
(i) estimated fair market value of the assets; and (ii) estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by these assets, which are based on additional assumptions such as asset utilization, length of service the asset will be used in
our operations, and estimated salvage values.

We have approximately $510.6 million of long-lived assets as of December 31, 2005 on a cost basis,
including approximately $418.3 million of flight equipment and related equipment on a cost basis.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk-Sensitive Instruments and Positions

We are subject to certain market risks, including interest rates and commodity prices (i.e., aircraft fuel). The adverse effects of changes in these
markets pose a potential loss as discussed below. The sensitivity analyses do not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity, nor do they consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to
such changes. Actual results may differ. See the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our financial accounting policies and additional information.

Interest Rates

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair value of our long-term debt was estimated to be
$536.6 million and $344.9 million, respectively, based upon discounted future cash flows using current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments or market prices. Market risk, estimated as the potential increase in fair value
resulting from a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, was approximately $79.3 million as of December 31, 2005, and approximately $11.2 million as of December 31, 2004. Our long-term debt obligations that bear fixed
rates of interest may be prepaid without penalty prior to their respective maturity dates and, therefore, a change in market interest rates generally would not affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. If interest rates
average 10% higher in 2006 than in 2005, for our variable-rate debt, our interest expense would increase by approximately $1.0 million.

Aviation Fuel

Our results of operations can be significantly impacted by changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Aircraft fuel expense for the years
ended 2005 and 2004 represented approximately 32.4 percent and 24.8 percent of our operating expenses, respectively. Increases in fuel prices or a shortage of supply could have a material effect on our operations and operating results. Based in our
2006 projected fuel consumption, a 10 percent increase in the average price per gallon of aircraft fuel for the year ended December 31, 2005, would increase fuel expense for the next twelve months by approximately $37.5 million including the
effects of our fuel purchase contracts. Comparatively, based on 2005 fuel usage, a 10 percent increase in fuel prices would have resulted in an increase in fuel expense of approximately $47.3 million, including the effects of our contracts. As of
December 31, 2005, utilizing advanced fuel purchase contracts, we had committed to purchase 97.8 million and 59.9 million gallons of aviation fuel at a weighted average price per gallon of $1.65 and $1.54, respectively, for 2006 and
2007. This represents 31.0 percent and 15.4 percent of our anticipated fuel needs for 2006 and 2007, respectively, including delivery to our operations hub in Atlanta and other locations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of AirTran Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AirTran Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of the Company at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements have been restated.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 9,
2006, except for the effects of the additional material weakness described in the fifth paragraph of that report, as to which the date is August 7, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Young LLP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1  Restatement
and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Restatement

We have restated our consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 to reflect adjustments in our accounting for
fuel expense. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements were restated only to reflect the adjustments described below and do not reflect events occurring after March 9, 2006, the date of the filing of our original Form 10-K, or
modified or updated those disclosures that have been affected by subsequent events.

Except for the aforementioned adjustment, this Form 10-K/A does
not modify or update other disclosures in the original Form 10-K, including the nature and character of such disclosure to reflect events occurring after March 9, 2006, the filing date of the Form 10-K. Accordingly this
Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

Fuel Expense:In March 2006, we identified certain inadvertent errors that had resulted in misstatements of previously reported fuel expenses and recorded an adjustment for the cumulative effect of the errors in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Based on
our initial assessment that the misstatements were not material to our previously issued financial statements and the cumulative adjustment would not be material to our expected 2006 operating results, we recorded a $6.8 million favorable adjustment
to fuel expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. However, on August 4, 2006, our management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors concluded that we would amend our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005 and our previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to correct our reported fuel expense in 2004, 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, rather than solely in the first quarter of 2006. We
arrived at this conclusion during the course of responding to inquiries arising from comments from the Staff of the SEC relating to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

The following table sets forth the effects of the restatement on certain line items within our previously reported financial statements (in thousands, except per share
data):

The restatement also resulted in changes to the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Equity and Cash
Flows in addition to Notes 1, 5, 8, 11 and 14.

Basis of Presentation

Our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) and our wholly owned subsidiaries, including our principal subsidiary, AirTran Airways, Inc. (Airways). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business

Airways offers scheduled airline services to 47 locations across the United States, primarily in short-haul markets principally in the eastern United States.

The financial and operating results for any interim period are not indicative of those for the entire year. Air travel tends to be seasonal with the highest level of
travel during the winter months to Florida and the summer months to the northeastern and western United States.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less
when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash primarily represents amounts escrowed relating to aircraft leases and collateral to support credit card holdbacks for advance ticket sales.

##### Table of Contents

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments consist of auction rate securities with auction reset periods of less than 12 months, classified as available-for-sale securities and stated at fair value.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are due primarily from major
credit card processors, travel agents, co-branded credit card arrangements, and from municipalities related to guaranteed revenue agreements. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated losses expected to be incurred in the
collection of accounts receivable based on historical credit card chargebacks and miscellaneous receivables based on specific analysis. Collateral is generally not required on accounts receivable.

Spare Parts and Supplies

Spare parts and supplies consist of
expendable aircraft spare parts, supplies, and prepaid aircraft fuel. These items are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). These items are charged to expense when used. Allowances for obsolescence are
provided over the estimated useful life of the related aircraft and engines for spare parts expected to be on hand at the date aircraft are retired from service.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated on the basis of cost. Flight equipment is depreciated to its salvage values of 10%, using the straight-line method. The estimated salvage values and depreciable lives are periodically reviewed for
reasonableness, and revised if necessary. The estimated useful lives for airframes, engines and aircraft parts are 30 years. Other property and equipment is depreciated over three to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the economic
life of the asset or the lease term, whichever is shorter.

Measurement of Impairment

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we record impairment losses on long-lived assets used
in operations when events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the net book value of those assets and the fair value is less than the net book
value.

Intangibles

Intangibles are recorded at cost.
Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and indefinite-lived intangibles, such as trade names, are not amortized but are subject to periodic impairment reviews in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142 (SFAS 142). We performed annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of 2005, 2004, and 2003. Our tests indicated that we did not have any impairment of our trade name or of our goodwill. Accumulated amortization was $6.5 million at
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Capitalized Interest

Interest attributable to funds used to finance the acquisition of new aircraft is capitalized as an additional cost of the related asset. Interest is capitalized at our weighted-average interest rate on long-term debt or, where applicable,
the interest rate related to specific borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the asset is ready for service. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred approximately $22.2 million, $19.4 million, and
$28.3 million in interest expense, respectively, net of capitalized interest of $15.3 million, $7.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Aircraft
and Engine Maintenance

Maintenance repair costs for major components on our B717 aircraft, including engines and auxiliary power units (APU), covered
under maintenance agreements with FAA approved contractors, are expensed monthly based on flight hours flown or landings. Maintenance on airframes and other components as well as maintenance on our B737 aircraft engines are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to
expense in the period the costs are incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $35.0 million, $27.0 million and $22.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

During 2005 we entered into an advertising barter transaction in which we exchanged flight credits in our frequent flyer program for promotional consideration. The
transaction was recorded at the fair value of the credits exchanged resulting in approximately $4.6 million of advertising expense in 2005. The revenue relating to the flight credits will be recognized as passenger revenue as the credits are
utilized or expire. As of December 31, 2005, $0.4 million was recognized in passenger revenues.

Revenue Recognition

Passenger revenue is recognized when transportation is provided. Ticket sales for transportation which has not yet been provided are recorded as air traffic liability. Air traffic liability represents tickets sold for future travel dates.
Nonrefundable tickets expire one year from the date the ticket is purchased. A percentage of tickets expire unused. We estimate the amount of future exchanges, net of forfeitures, for all unused tickets once the flight date has passed. These
estimates are based on historical experience. Passenger traffic commissions and related fees are expensed when the related revenue is recognized. Passenger traffic commissions and related fees not yet recognized are included as a prepaid expense.

Frequent Flyer Program

We accrue a liability for the
estimated incremental cost of providing free travel for awards earned under our A+ Rewards Program based on awards we expect to be redeemed. We adjust this liability based on points earned and redeemed as well as for changes in the estimated
incremental costs.

We also sell points in our A+ Rewards Program to third parties, such as credit card companies, internet service providers and car
rental agencies. A portion of these point sales is deferred and recognized as passenger revenue when transportation is provided. The remaining portion, which is the excess of the total sales proceeds over the estimated fair value of the
transportation to be provided, is recognized in other revenue at the time of sale.

Stock-Based Compensation

We grant stock options and restricted awards from time to time to certain of our officers, directors, and key employees. We account for stock option grants in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and accordingly only recognize compensation expense for stock options granted where the market price of
the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock option on the date of grant.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS
123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, provides an alternative to APB 25 in accounting for stock-based compensation issued to employees. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per common share if we
had applied the fair value method to measure stock-based compensation, which is described more fully in Note 10, as required under the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

##### Table of Contents

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS
No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. Among other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation and requires companies to recognize the cost
of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards in the financial statements.

SFAS 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a modified prospective method or a modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized
in payments granted after that date based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the modified retrospective method, the requirements are the same as under the
modified prospective method but also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS 123.

We currently utilize a standard option pricing model, Black-Scholes, to measure the fair value of the stock options granted to employees for disclosure purposes. While SFAS 123R permits entities to continue to use
such a model, the standard also permits the use of a binomial or lattice model. We have determined that we will continue to use the Black-Scholes method for valuing options.

SFAS 123R also requires that the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow, as under the current
literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. These amounts cannot be estimated because they depend on, among other things, when employees exercise stock
options.

On January 1, 2006, we will be required to adopt SFAS 123R. We will use the modified prospective method to account for stock based
compensation. We expect that the adoption of SFAS 123R will reduce 2006 earnings by less than $1 million.

On September 13, 2005, we accelerated the
vesting of unvested stock options awarded more than one year prior to such date to employees and officers under our stock option plans. The affected options had exercise prices greater than the current market price of the stock ($10.68 per share) on
the date of acceleration. Options to purchase approximately 352,000 additional shares became exercisable as a result of the vesting acceleration. Typically, stock options granted by us vest equally over a three year period. Of the accelerated
options, approximately 201,000 are held by the Companys pilots with the remainder held by the Companys officers and management employees. No options held by the Companys Chairman and CEO were accelerated. The purpose of
accelerating the vesting of these options was to allow the Company to avoid compensation expense in fiscal 2006 and 2007 associated with unvested options upon adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, in January 2006. The charge to the
Consolidated Statements of Income, which would otherwise have been recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, is estimated to be approximately $1 million, net of tax, of which approximately $0.8 million, net of tax, would have
been recognized in fiscal 2006. The pro forma compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, disclosed in the table above includes approximately $1.2 million net of tax, from the acceleration of the vesting of all unvested stock
options with an exercise price greater than $10.68 as of September 13, 2005.

Reclassification

Certain 2004 and 2003 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2005 classifications. These reclassifications have no material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow or Consolidated
Statements of Shareholders Equity.

Note 2 - Government Compensation and Grants

In May 2003, we received and recognized in earnings $38.1 million in cash from the United States government pursuant to the Wartime Act enacted in April 2003. This amount was a reimbursement for our proportional share
of passenger security and air carrier security fees paid or collected by U.S. air carriers as of the date of enactment of the legislation, together with other items. The legislation included the following highlights:



| |  | $2.3 billion was paid to carriers for reimbursement of airline security fees that had been paid or collected by the air carriers as of the date of enactment. Additionally,
collection of the security fees from passengers was not required from June 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | $100 million was paid to carriers for reimbursement for direct costs associated with installing strengthened flight deck doors and locks. We received $1.7 million during the third
quarter of 2003.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Aviation war risk insurance provided by the government was extended for one year to August 2004.

Note 3 - Commitments and Contingencies

Fuel Risk Management:

Efforts to reduce our exposure to increases in the price and availability of aviation fuel include the utilization of fuel purchase contracts involving both fixed-price
arrangements and cap arrangements. Fixed-price arrangements consist of an agreement to purchase defined quantities of aviation fuel from a third party at defined prices. Cap arrangements consist of an agreement to purchase defined quantities of
aviation fuel from a third party at a price not to exceed a defined price, limiting our exposure to upside market risk. As of December 31, 2005, utilizing advanced fuel purchase contracts, we had committed to purchase 97.8 million and
59.9 million gallons of aviation fuel at a weighted average price per gallon of $1.65 and $1.54, respectively, for 2006 and 2007. This represents 31.0 percent and 15.4 percent of our anticipated fuel needs for 2006 and 2007, respectively,
including delivery to our operations hub in Atlanta and other locations.

Aircraft Purchase Commitments:

As of December 31, 2005, we had on order two Boeing 717 aircraft with delivery dates in 2006 and 55 Boeing 737 aircraft with delivery dates between 2006 and 2009. In
January 2006, we exercised an option for the delivery of one additional B737 with a 2007 delivery date.

The table below illustrates all aircraft scheduled
for delivery through 2010, including the effect of the aforementioned transaction:

Of the 56 B737 aircraft on order we secured lease financing on seven of the aircraft through an arrangement with an
aircraft leasing company and have secured debt financing for 15 B737 aircraft through arrangements with financial institutions. Additionally, we have entered into sale/leaseback transactions with the aircraft leasing company referred to above with
respect to six related spare engines to be delivered through 2010.

During 2006, we are scheduled to take delivery of two remaining B717 aircraft, which
are to be leased through an affiliate of the aircraft manufacturer. Additionally we are scheduled to take delivery of 18 B737 aircraft during 2006, of which seven of such B737 aircraft are to be acquired pursuant to individual operating leases
through the aircraft leasing arrangements and 11 B737 aircraft are to be financed through debt. Additionally, we have entered into sale/leaseback transactions with that aircraft leasing company with respect to six related spare engines to be
delivered between the remainder of 2005 and 2010.

During 2005, in connection with our agreements with an aircraft manufacturer, Airways was refunded $29.8
million in previously paid aircraft deposits while paying $93.5 million in new aircraft deposits under the agreement for the acquisition of B737 aircraft.

Aquarium:

As a presenting sponsor of the Georgia Aquarium, we have committed to pay $7.5 million in five yearly installments
expiring October 31, 2010.

General Indemnifications:

We are party to many routine contracts under which we indemnify third parties for various risks. We have not accrued any liability for any of these indemnities, as the amount is not determinable or estimable. These
indemnities consist of the following:

Certain of our debt agreements related to certain aircraft-secured notes payable through 2017 contain language,
whereby, we have agreed to indemnify certain holders of certificates evidencing the debt associated with such notes, as necessary, to compensate them for any costs incurred by or any reduction in receivables due to such certificate holders resulting
from broadly defined regulatory changes that impose or modify any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of or any deposits with or other liabilities of such certificate holders.
Additionally, if it becomes unlawful for such certificate holders to make or maintain the investment or credit evidenced by the certificates, we have agreed to pay such certificate holders an amount necessary to cause the interest rate with respect
to the certificates to be a rate per annum equal to 4.88% over the rate specified by such certificate holders as the cost to them of obtaining funds in dollars in the United States in an amount equal to the pool balance of the certificates. The
maximum potential payment under these indemnities cannot be determined.

Our aircraft lease transaction documents contain customary indemnities concerning
withholding taxes in which we are responsible in some circumstances should withholding taxes be imposed for paying such amounts of additional rent, as is necessary to ensure that the lessor still receives, after taxes, the rent stipulated in the
lease agreements. These provisions apply on leases expiring through 2022. The maximum potential payment under these indemnities cannot be determined.

In
our aircraft financing agreements, we typically indemnify the financing parties, the trustee acting on their behalf and, other related parties against liabilities that arise from the manufacture, design, ownership, financing, use, operation, and
maintenance of the aircraft for tort liability, whether or not these liabilities arise out of or relate to the negligence of these indemnified parties except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. We believe that we are covered by
insurance (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities, as described above with respect to the aircraft we operate. Additionally, if there is a change in the law which results in the imposition of any reserve, capital
adequacy, special deposit, or similar requirement which will increase the cost to the lender, we will pay the lender the additional amount necessary to compensate the lender for the actual cost increase.

We have various leases with respect to real property and various agreements among airlines relating to fuel consortia or
fuel farms at airports in which we have agreed to standard language indemnifying the lessor against environmental liabilities associated with the real property covered under the agreement, even if we are not the party responsible for the
environmental damage. In the case of fuel consortia at the airports, these indemnities are generally joint and several among the airlines. We cannot quantify the maximum potential exposure under these indemnities and we do not currently have
liability insurance that protects us against environmental damages.

Under certain contracts with third parties, we indemnify the third party against legal
liability arising out of an action by a third party. The terms of these contracts vary and the potential exposure under these indemnities cannot be determined. Generally, we have liability insurance protecting us from obligations undertaken under
these indemnities.

Note 4 - Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments with various high credit-quality financial institutions or in short-duration, high-quality debt securities. Investments are stated at fair value, which approximates cost. We periodically evaluate the
relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in our investment strategy. There were no material realized or unrealized gains or losses on our available-for-sale securities for the years ended December 31, 2005,
2004 or 2003. We use specific identification of securities for determining gains and losses. Contractual maturities of our available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2005 exceed 10 years while the auction re-set periods are 28 to 35 days.
The balance of these available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $0.1 million and $27 million, respectively.

The
estimated fair value of other financial instruments, excluding debt, approximate their carrying amount. The fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted market prices, if available, or are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on
current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of long-term debt were $473.0 million and $536.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005, and $314.0 million and
$344.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2004.

The majority of our receivables result from the sale of tickets to individuals, mostly through
the use of major credit cards. These receivables are short-term, generally being settled shortly after sale. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited, due to the large number of customers comprising our customer
base.

As of December 31, 2005, approximately 43 percent of our employees were represented by unions. While there can be no assurance that our
generally good labor relations with our employees will continue we have established as a significant component of our business strategy the preservation of good relations with our employees.

Permanent Aircraft Financing Facilities:

Through
December 31, 2005, we have entered into three separate facilities (each a permanent facility) for purposes of financing the acquisition of B737 aircraft on order with an aircraft manufacturer.

We entered into the first permanent facility in August 2004, pursuant to which we financed the acquisition of three B737 aircraft. We took delivery of
the three B737 aircraft in August 2004, July 2005 and August 2005, respectively. In conjunction with the financing of these B737 aircraft, we issued equipment notes as aircraft were delivered for an aggregate amount of $87.0 million, which are
scheduled to mature between August 2016 and August 2017. The equipment notes bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the six-month US Dollar London Interbank Offering rate (LIBOR) in effect at the commencement of each semi-annual period,
and payments of principal and interest under the notes are payable semi-annually. Each note is secured by a first mortgage on the aircraft to which it relates, valuing at approximately $96.5 million as of December 31, 2005.

We entered into the second permanent facility in September 2004, pursuant to which we financed the
acquisition of three additional B737 aircraft. We took delivery of such aircraft in September 2004, June 2005 and January 2006, respectively. In conjunction with the financing of these B737 aircraft, we issued equipment notes as aircraft were
delivered for an aggregate amount of $85.5 million, which are scheduled to mature between September 2016 and January 2018. The notes bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the six-month US Dollar LIBOR in effect at the commencement of each
semi-annual period, and payments of principal and interest under the notes are payable semi-annually. Each note is secured by a first mortgage on the aircraft to which it relates, valuing at approximately $63.7 million as of December 31, 2005.

We entered into the third permanent facility in September 2005, pursuant to which we shall be entitled to borrow up to $354 million for
purposes of acquiring 12 B737 aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered to us in 2006 and 2007 and satisfying our repayment obligations under a related pre-delivery payment financing facility, which is described in more detail below. On the
delivery date of each aircraft subject to this third permanent facility, we will issue equipment notes evidencing the loans made under this permanent facility for that aircraft. The equipment notes will mature on the twelfth anniversary of the
delivery date of the aircraft to which such notes relate and will be secured by the aircraft to which such loans relate. We intend to obtain a loan in respect of the first aircraft subject to this permanent facility during May 2006.

On February 14, 2006, we entered into a fourth permanent facility, pursuant to which we shall be entitled to borrow up to $58 million for purposes
of acquiring two B737 aircraft on their respective delivery dates. We obtained a loan under this fourth permanent facility on February 14, 2006 for purposes of acquiring the first of the aircraft subject to this facility. In connection with the
financing of that aircraft, we issued an equipment note for $29 million. The note is scheduled to mature during February 2018. The note bears interest at a floating rate per annum above the six-month LIBOR, and payments of principal and interest
under the note are payable semi-annually. We intend to obtain a loan in respect of the second aircraft subject to this facility during March 2006.

Pre-delivery Payment Financings:

Through December 31, 2005, we have entered into three separate facilities (each a
PDP facility) for purposes of financing our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in respect of B737 aircraft on order with an aircraft manufacturer.

During May 2005, we closed the first PDP facility, PDP-1, pursuant to which we were entitled to draw an amount equal to $19.6 million to fund a portion of our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in
respect of six B737 aircraft scheduled to be delivered through March 2006. Drawings made under PDP-1 bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the one-month US Dollar LIBOR. PDP-1 is secured by certain rights under our purchase agreement with
an aircraft manufacturer for the six B737 aircraft. As of December 31, 2005, PDP-1 was fully drawn and $9.9 million was outstanding thereunder. All outstanding amounts related to PDP-1 will have been repaid prior to delivery of the last of the
six aircraft in March 2006.

On September 1, 2005, we closed the second PDP facility, PDP-2, pursuant to which we are
entitled to draw amounts sufficient to fund all of our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in respect of 12 B737 aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered in 2006 and 2007. PDP-2 was entered into in conjunction with the September 2005
permanent facility for $354 million as described above. Drawings made under PDP-2 bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the one-month US Dollar LIBOR. PDP-2 is secured by certain rights under our purchase agreement with an aircraft
manufacturer for the 12 B737 aircraft. As of December 31, 2005, $57.2 million is outstanding under PDP-2, which is equivalent to pre-delivery payments due and paid by us to the aircraft manufacturer for the 12 B737 aircraft through such date.
We intend to make additional drawings under PDP-2 for approximately $264.2 million through February 2006, at which time our deposit requirements for the 12 aircraft will be met.

On December 7, 2005, we closed the third PDP facility, PDP-3, pursuant to which we are entitled to draw amounts up to $65 million to
fund a portion of our obligations to make pre-delivery payments in respect of 19 B737 aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered in 2007 and 2008. Drawings made under PDP-3 bear interest at a floating rate per annum above the one-month US Dollar
LIBOR. PDP-3 is secured by certain rights under our purchase agreement with an aircraft manufacturer for the 19 B737 aircraft. As of December 31, 2005, $20.0 million is outstanding under PDP-3. We intend to make additional drawings under PDP-3
for approximately $45 million, through April 2007, at which time the deposit requirements for the 19 aircraft will have been met.

Note 7 - Leases

Total rental expense charged to operations for aircraft, facilities and office space for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $238.0 million, $187.1 million and $155.1 million, respectively.

We lease 77 B717s under leases with terms that expire through 2022. We have the option to renew the B717 leases for periods ranging from one to four years. The B717
leases have purchase options at or near the end of the lease term at fair market value, and two have purchase options based on a stated percentage of the lessors defined cost of the aircraft at the end of the 13th year of the lease term.
Forty-one of the B717 leases are the result of sale/leaseback transactions. Deferred gains from these transactions are being amortized over the terms of the leases. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, unamortized deferred gains were $62.4 million
and $66.8 million, respectively. See Note 5. We also lease facilities from local airport authorities or other carriers, as well as office space under operating leases with terms ranging up to 12 years. In addition, we lease ground equipment and
certain rotables under capital leases.

We lease fifteen B737-700s under leases with terms that expire through 2021. We have the option to extend the lease
term for 12 months up to 39 months. There are no purchase options.

The amounts applicable to capital leases included in property and equipment were (in
thousands):

Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included as Depreciation in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income.

Effective October 1, 2003, we adopted FASB Interpretation 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities. FIN 46 requires the consolidation of certain types of entities in which a company absorbs a majority of another entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the other entitys expected residual returns, or both, as a
result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the other entity. These entities are



52

##### Table of Contents

called variable interest entities or VIEs. The principal characteristics of VIEs are (1) an
insufficient amount of equity to absorb the entitys expected losses, (2) equity owners as a group are not able to make decisions about the entitys activities, or (3) equity that does not absorb the entitys losses or
receive the entitys residual returns. Variable interests are contractual, ownership or other monetary interests in an entity that change with fluctuations in the entitys net asset value. As a result, VIEs can arise from items
such as lease agreements, loan arrangements, guarantees or service contracts.

If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the entity must be consolidated by
the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the holder of the variable interests that absorb a majority of the VIEs expected losses or receive a majority of the entitys residual returns in the event no holder has a
majority of the expected losses. There is no primary beneficiary in cases where no single holder absorbs the majority of the expected losses or receives a majority of the residual returns. The determination of the primary beneficiary is based on
projected cash flows at the inception of the variable interest.

We have interests in variable interest entities (VIEs) in connection with our aircraft
leases where the lessor is a trust established specifically to purchase, finance and lease aircraft to us. Such trusts generally meet the criteria for VIEs. We are not the primary beneficiary of such leasing entities if the lease terms are
consistent with market terms at the inception of the lease and do not include a residual value guarantee, a fixed-price purchase option or similar feature that obligates us to absorb decreases in value or entitles us to participate in increases in
the value of the aircraft. We meet these initial criteria for exclusion from primary beneficiary status in all but two of our aircraft leases. We are a party to two aircraft leases that contain fixed-price purchase options that allow us to purchase
the aircraft at predetermined prices on specified dates during the lease term. We have not consolidated the related trusts for such two leases, because even taking into consideration these purchase options, we still are not the primary beneficiary
based on our analysis of the potential impact of these leases on our cash flow. Our maximum exposure under these two leases is limited to the remaining lease payments, which are reflected in the future minimum lease payments in the table above.

On September 30, 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached consensus on Issue No. 04-08, The
Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share, which changes the treatment of contingently convertible debt instruments in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. EITF Issue No. 04-08 provides that
these debt instruments be included in earnings per share computation, if dilutive, regardless of whether the contingent feature has been met. This change does not have any effect on net income, but it does affect the related per share amounts. We
have adopted EITF Issue No. 04-08 as of December 31, 2004. In the third quarter 2003, the notes met the convertibility requirements under the debt and we included, if dilutive, the assumed conversion of our convertible notes issued May
2003 in diluted earnings per share calculations in subsequent periods as a result of meeting those requirements.

The assumed conversions of convertible
debt in 2005 and 2004 were anti-dilutive and 11.2 million shares were excluded from the computation of weighted-average shares outstanding used in computing diluted earnings per common share.

Note 9  Common Stock

We have one class of common stock.
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. At December 31, 2005, 6,796,617 shares of common stock are reserved for future issuance upon exercise of stock options.

On October 1, 2003, we completed a public offering of 9,116,000 shares of Holdings common stock at a price of $16.00 per share, raising net proceeds of
approximately $139.2 million, after deducting discounts and commissions paid to the underwriters and other expenses incurred with the offering.

On
October 1, 2003, we used $11.7 million of the proceeds of the public offering of Holdings common stock to purchase from an aircraft manufacturer affiliate warrants held by it to purchase 1.0 million shares of Holdings common
stock based on the public offering price of the stock of $16.00 less the exercise price of the warrants.

Additionally we have outstanding detachable
warrants issued in March 2001, to an aircraft manufacturer affiliate for the purchase of one million shares of our common stock at $4.51 per share. The warrants had an estimated value of $4.5 million when issued and expire five years after issuance.

Note 10 - Stock Option Plans

Our 1993 Incentive Stock
Option Plan provides for the grant of options to officers, directors and key employees to purchase up to 4.8 million shares of common stock at prices not less than the fair value of the shares on the dates of grant. With respect to individuals
owning more than 10 percent of the voting power of all classes of our common stock, the exercise price per share shall not be less than 110 percent of the fair value of the shares on the date of grant. Our 2002 Long-term Incentive Plan, 1996 Stock
Option Plan, and 1994 Stock Option Plan provide up to 5 million, 5 million, and 4 million incentive stock options or nonqualified options, respectively, to be granted to our officers, directors, key employees and consultants.

In connection with the acquisition of Airways Corporation in 1997, we assumed the Airways Corporation 1995 Stock Option Plan (Airways Plan) and the
Airways Corporation 1995 Director Stock Option Plan (Airways DSOP). Under the Airways Plan, up to 1.2 million incentive stock options or nonqualified options may be granted to our officers, directors, key employees or consultants. Under the
Airways DSOP, up to 150,000 nonqualified options may be granted to directors.

Vesting and term of all options is determined by the Board of Directors and
may vary by optionee; however, the term may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per
common share is required by SFAS 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options

granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, under the fair value method of that statement. The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2004, and 2003, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 3.74 percent, and 3.05 percent; no dividend yields;
volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 0.625, and 0.630; and a weighted-average expected life of the options of 5 years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period.

A summary of stock option activity under the aforementioned plans is as follows:

##### Table of Contents

We had 5,373,793, and 6,366,369 options exercisable at December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. We exercised
1.8 million, 2.1 million and 2.1 million options during 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The tax benefit related to those options of $1.6 million, $5.9 million, and $8.4 million, respectively, is recorded in additional paid in
capital on the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2004, and 2003, with option
prices equal to the market price on the date of grant, was $7.24, and $3.14, respectively.

There were no options granted during 2004 and 2003 with options
prices greater than the market price of the stock on the date of grant.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2004 and 2003, with
option prices less than the market price on the date of grant was $9.52 and $4.35, respectively.

During 2005 and 2004 we granted stock awards to our
officers and key employees pursuant to our 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Stock awards are grants that entitle the holder to shares of our common stock as the award vests. The market value of the stock awards at the date of the grant is recorded as
unearned compensation, a component of stockholders equity, and is being charged on a straight-line basis to expense over the respective vesting period. During 2005 and 2004 we granted approximately 320,000 and 650,000 stock awards,
respectively, with a weighted average fair value of $9.11 and $10.91, respectively. We recorded deferred compensation related to such awards of $2.9 million and $7.1 million during 2005 and 2004, respectively. Approximately $3.5 million and $2.5
million of deferred compensation were amortized as compensation expense during 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows (in thousands):

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, federal net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were
approximately $257.4 million and $236.8 million, respectively, which begin to expire in 2017. State net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were $153.6 million and $132.9 million. In addition, our AMT
credit carryforwards for income tax purposes were $3.3 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, and therefore, no valuation allowance has
been recorded at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Note 12 - Employee Benefit Plans

Effective January 1, 1998, we consolidated our 401(k) plans (the Plan). All employees, except pilots, are eligible to participate in the consolidated Plan, a defined contribution benefit plan that qualifies under
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may contribute up to 15 percent of their base salary to the Plan. Our contributions to the Plan are discretionary. The amount of our contributions to the Plan expensed in 2005, 2004, and
2003 was approximately $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Effective in the third quarter of 2000, we agreed to fund, on behalf of
our mechanics and inspectors, a monthly fixed contribution per eligible employee to their unions pension plan. In May of 2001, a similar agreement was made on behalf of our maintenance training instructors. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, we
expensed approximately $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to these agreements. Beginning in January 2002, additional agreements with our stores clerks and ground service equipment employees took effect that call for a
monthly fixed amount per eligible employee to be made to the unions pension plan. During 2005, 2004 and 2003, the contributions to this plan were less than $0.1 million. At the time these agreements take effect, the eligible employee may
continue making contributions to the Plan, but there will be no company match.

Effective August 1, 2001, the AirTran Airways Pilot Savings and
Investment Plan (Pilot Savings Plan) was established. This plan is designed to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Funds previously invested in the Plan, representing contributions made by and for pilots, were moved to
the Pilot Savings Plan during 2001. Eligible employees may contribute up to the IRS maximum allowed. We will not match pilot contributions to this Pilot Savings Plan. Effective on August 1, 2001, we also established the Pilot-Only Defined
Contribution Pension Plan (DC Plan) which qualifies under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Company contributions were 10.5 percent during 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. We expensed $10.0 million, $8.2 million and $5.4 million in
contributions to the DC Plan during the years ended 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Under our 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, employees who complete
12 months of service are eligible to make periodic purchases of our common stock at up to a 15 percent discount from the market value on the offering date. The Board of Directors determines the discount rate, which was increased to 10 percent from 5
percent effective November 1, 2001. We are authorized to issue up to 4 million shares of common stock under this plan. During 2005, 2004, and 2003, the employees purchased a total of 144,597, 116,488 and 117,125 shares, respectively, at an
average price of $9.13, $9.84 and $8.00 per share, respectively.

The results of the fourth quarter of 2005 include expense of $2.7 million, net of tax, related to an advertising
barter transaction in which we exchanged flight credits in our frequent flyer program for promotional consideration.

The restated results of the first
quarter of 2004 include $1.5 million of additional expense relating to corrections of fuel misstatements from prior periods.

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Restatement

In March 2006, we identified certain inadvertent errors that had resulted in misstatements of previously reported fuel expenses and recorded an adjustment for the cumulative effect of the errors in the quarter ended
March 31, 2006. Based on our initial assessment that the misstatements were not material to our previously issued financial statements and the cumulative adjustment would not be material to our expected 2006 operating results, we recorded a $6.8
million favorable adjustment to fuel expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. However, on August 4, 2006, our management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors concluded that we would amend our previously filed Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to correct our reported fuel expense in 2004, 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, rather than solely in the first
quarter of 2006. We arrived at this conclusion during the course of responding to inquiries arising from comments from the Staff of the SEC relating to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that we are able to collect the information we are required to disclose
in the reports we file with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the Exchange Act).

Based on this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.



Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of
published financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.Based on that assessment, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2005 due to a material weakness. A material weakness is
a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2005, the
Company determined that a material weakness exists relating to inadequate staffing and a lack of financial accounting expertise. This deficiency resulted in certain adjustments to revenue, advertising expense, depreciation, and deferred
compensation. Although none of these adjustments were material, until this deficiency is remediated, there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement to the annual or interim Consolidated Financial Statements could occur and not
be prevented or detected by the Companys controls in a timely manner. Additionally, because of this material weakness, we have concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2005 based on the criteria in the Internal Control  Integrated Framework. Subsequently, management concluded that our failure to identify the inadvertent errors in our fuel expense constituted a second material weakness in our internal
controls over financial reporting. Management has revised its earlier assessment to include the second material weakness; however, our conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2005 remains
unchanged.

Managements revised assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, has been
audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also has audited the Companys restated consolidated financial statements included in the Amendment. Ernst & Youngs attestation report on
managements assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting appears below.

Remediation of Material Weakness in
Internal Control.

The lack of staff resources and financial expertise arose due to employee turnover and the inability of the Company to timely fill
accounting and other financial related positions. Our management, with the oversight of the Companys Audit Committee, has devoted considerable effort to remediating the first material weakness identified above. However, as of December 31,
2005, the Company had not fully remediated the material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The Companys remediation plan is as follows:



| |  |  | The Company has staffed a number of key accounting and financial management positions and is diligently seeking to fill open supporting staff positions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company will add additional accounting management positions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Company will provide education regarding effective review procedures to the appropriate accounting and financial personnel.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, the Company identified an additional material weakness that existed as of December 31, 2005 related to our accounting for fuel expense. The material
weakness resulted in the restatement of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the quarter ended March 31, 2006. We have taken the following specific actions to remediate this material weakness:



| |  |  | In March 2006, the Company implemented controls in order to ensure that fuel expense is properly stated. Specifically the following controls were implemented: i) a formal review of
all analyses was performed and is being performed on a monthly basis, ii) monthly reconciliations of our prepaid fuel balances to vendor statements are performed and reviewed, and iii) procedures to periodically confirm outstanding balances owed to
or from suppliers are being performed. We have implemented procedures that we believe remediate this material weakness. We are in the process of completing our testing to confirm that the procedures are operating effectively.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Other than the changes identified above, there have been no
changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of AirTran Holdings, Inc.

We
have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial reporting, that AirTran Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 because of the effect of material weaknesses related to a) inadequate staffing and lack of sufficient accounting expertise and b) the accounting for fuel expense, based on
criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the
companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in
managements assessment. In its assessment as of December 31, 2005, management has determined that a material weakness exists relating to inadequate staffing and a lack of financial accounting expertise. This deficiency resulted in certain
adjustments to revenue, advertising expense, depreciation and deferred compensation. Although no material misstatements were discovered as a result of this deficiency, until it is remediated, there is a more than remote likelihood that a material
misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected by the Companys controls in a timely manner. In addition, in August of 2006 management decided to restate its consolidated
financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2005 to correct inadvertent errors in accounting for fuel expense. The insufficient controls resulting in the errors in accounting for fuel expense represent an additional material weakness.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2005 consolidated
financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 9, 2006, except for Note 1, as to which the date is August 7, 2006, on those consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.
