 AirTran Airways - The Truth about Safety   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
AirTran is a low-cost, no-frills airline that has a corporate culture of being unsafe due to careless maintenance and a new fleet that is almost exclusively comprised by the 717, the orphan version of the DC-9/MD-80 from Boeing.
In one case, a maintenance contractor was criminally charged and found liable for a crash that killed all passengers on board (Valujet 592) and AirTran enjoys exclusively blaming them for the incident and accepting no responsibility for their lack of oversight of the maintenance process.
It is often unknown that AirTran had three separate aircraft fires in the year 2000 alone; two were on DC-9s and one was on a 717.
