AirTran Airways
In 1997, the airline's parent holding company purchased the much smaller regional airline holding company Airways Corporation, the holding company for AirTran Airways. ValuJet’s fleet and operations were transferred to AirTran in 1998, and ValuJet was merged into AirTran Airways in 1999. However, for years after the merger, it was thought that ValuJet was the nominal survivor, changing its name to AirTran Airways due to the ValuJet management's running the airline. AirTran was purchased by Southwest Airlines in 2011 and ended flights in 2014.
