SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 1-15991]


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (AirTran Holdings, 
Inc., Common Stock, $.001 Par Value)

August 9, 2001.
    AirTran Holdings, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (``Issuer''), has 
filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'')\1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Common Stock, $.001 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the State of Nevada, in which it is incorporated and with the 
Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security 
from listing and registration. The Issuer's application relates solely 
to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the Amex and registration 
under section 12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not affect its obligation 
to be registered under section 12(g) the Act.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 17, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Issuer approved 
resolutions to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the Amex 
and list it on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). In its 
application, the Issuer states that trading in the Security on the Amex 
will cease on August 14, 2001, and trading in the Security is expected 
to begin on the NYSE at the opening of business on August 15, 2001. In 
making the decision to withdraw the Security from listing on the 
Exchange, the Issuer represents that by doing so it can avoid the 
direct and indirect costs and the division of the market resulting from 
dual listing on the Amex and NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before August 30, 2001, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
