Step back in time with this exclusive AirTran vintage aviation t-shirt, featuring the iconic "Go There's Nothing Stopping You" branding that once embodied the spirit of accessible air travel across America. AirTran Airways was founded in 1993 as Conquest Sun Airlines and began operations as a start up Boeing 737-200 operator with service to and from Orlando. The airline underwent several transformations, becoming AirTran Airways in 1994 and later merging with the troubled ValuJet Airlines in 1997, ultimately operating for 21 years before being acquired by Southwest Airlines in 2011.
Despite facing industry challenges and complex corporate restructuring, AirTran emerged as a beloved low-cost carrier that connected communities across the eastern and midwestern United States. Based in Orlando with its principal hub at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, AirTran operated nearly 700 daily flights and became known for its customer-friendly approach and competitive fares. The last AirTrans revenue flight wouldn't actually occur until the end of 2014. According to Southwest Airlines, this took place at 22:25 EST with a Boeing 717 as AirTran Airways Flight 1. It departed Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) for Tampa International Airport (TPA). This vintage logo represents the determination and optimism of an airline that proved there really was nothing stopping travelers from reaching their destinations.
