EXHIBIT 99

AirTran Holdings, Inc. is providing the following update for investors on its fixed forward fuel purchases for the remainder of 2002.

Our efforts to reduce our exposure to increases in the price and availability of aviation fuel include the utilization of fixed price fuel contracts. Fixed price fuel contracts consist of an agreement to purchase defined quantities of aviation fuel from a third party at defined prices. Our fixed price fuel contracts are not required to be accounted for as derivative financial instruments, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."

As of March 31, 2001, utilizing fixed price fuel contracts we had agreements in place to purchase approximately 20 percent of our anticipated 2002 fuel needs at a price no higher than $0.64 per gallon of aviation fuel, including delivery to our operations hub in Atlanta.
