AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI) conducts the flight operations, through its wholly owned subsidiary, AirTran Airways Inc. The Company is engaged in operating scheduled airlines in the United States. As of February 2, 2009, the Company operated 86 Boeing B717-200 aircraft (B717) and 50 Boeing B737-700 aircraft (B737) offering approximately 700 scheduled flights per day to 56 locations in the United States (including San Juan, Puerto Rico).

In the report, the analyst notes:

"The Company believes that its existing liquidity and forecasted 2009 cash flows will be sufficient to fund its operations and other financial obligations for the remainder of 2009. While AAI believes its 2009 forecast is reasonable, a combination of one or more material and significant adverse events, most of which are outside of the Company's direct control, could have significant unfavorable impacts on its future cash flows. Such adverse events could include: significant increases in fuel prices for an extended period of time; significant sustained declines in unit revenues as a consequence of unfavorable macroeconomic or other conditions; or an increase in the percentage of advance ticket sales held back by credit card processors.

"AAI last month reported traffic for the month of September. The airline reported that revenue passenger miles, (RPMs), load factor and enplaned passengers represent a new all-time record for the month of September. For September, traffic grew by 11.0% to more than 1.3 billion RPMs. The company's load factor for the month was 77.0%. The airline enplaned more than 1.79 million passengers for the month, a 7.1% increase from September 2008."
