Travelers Alert: ATA Airlines Ceases Operations

ATA Airlines announced April 3, 2008, that it has filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and has ceased operations effective immediately.
With the shutdown of all operations and cancellation of all ATA flights, ATA is no longer able to honor any reservations or tickets.

ATA customers should seek alternative arrangements for current and future travel. To that end, ATA has contacted the airlines that serve ATA destinations and asked them to provide assistance to ATA customers. A list of other airlines that serve ATA destinations and additional information for ATA customers is available at www.ata.com. Customer information has also been posted at all ATA ticket counters and is available at 800-435-9282.

Customers who purchased tickets from ATA using a credit card should contact their credit card provider directly for more information about how to obtain a refund for unused tickets.

Customers who purchased tickets from Southwest Airlines for flights operated by ATA through its codeshare agreement should contact Southwest Airlines at 800-308-5037 or visit www.southwest.com for more information.

ATA's frequent flier program and all accumulated frequent flier points have also been canceled.
