AirTran has announced intention to break ground on a new $14.5 million hangar at Hartsfield (next to the old Eastern hangar off Virginia Avenue) by this December. It will be complete by December 2003 and will accomodate two 717s plus have a two-story office wing. There is room to add a second hangar at a later date. Asked about the possibility of moving the headquarters to Atlanta, the company said that would be too expensive right now but is possible down the road.
