AirTran Airways Chief Executive Bob Fornaro said he thinks his airline will benefit from other airlines’ cutbacks in a weak economy as it focuses on expanding its network beyond Atlanta.
During a presentation at a Raymond James investor conference Thursday, Fornaro said there “is a lot of uncertainty out there, which I think is okay for us because that may create some opportunity as well.”
Orando-based AirTran’s Atlanta hub makes up about 62 percent of its capacity, but that could fall below 60 percent by the end of the year, Fornaro said. The airline is “centered on Atlanta but ultimately a lot more diverse than we were four or five years ago,” he said.
