ATA Airlines
ATA Airlines is a low cost charter airline based in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Unlike the large commercial passenger airlines, ATA Airlines takes orders for charter flights throughout the United States and Hawaii.

ATA Airlines was founded in 1973, then called under the longer version of its name, American Trans Air. American Trans Air was founded with the purpose of providing air travel for a certain club, called Ambassadair. It was not until 1981 when American Trans Air began taking in business as a provider of charter flights back and forth between the continental United States and Hawaii.

ATA Airlines has been an integral member of the aviation industry ever since its inception; during the Gulf War in the early 1990s, ATA Airlines provided air transport for more than 100,000 American military personnel. After that, they leaned more towards the arena of chartering flights for travel and leisure purposes, rather than business purposes. ATA Airlines’ Honolulu, Hawaii departure is one of its most popular, as many people travel into the Honolulu area from other parts of the United States for vacation purposes at all times of the year; some people like to charter flights that go across the ocean, and ATA Airlines is there for those passengers who wish to avoid the hassles of commercial airlines and hire their own charter flights.

However, Southwest is no longer financially involved in ATA Airlines while they still maintain their code sharing contract.
