ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc.

"AirTran Airways is very proud of our partnership with the Georgia Aquarium, and we want to let our passengers in on the celebration," said Tad Hutcheson, AirTran Airways' vice president of marketing and sales.
