AirTran Airways has reportedly changed nine unfilled orders with US aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co for new Boeing 717 aircraft.
The airline - which has also confirmed plans to lease 22 of the used narrowbody aircraft - will lease 23 Boeing 717-200 aircraft through Boeing financing subsidiary, Boeing Capital Corp. The aircraft will be delivered in 2003, under the carrier's plans to operate an entire fleet of 717s by the end of 2003.
According to Reuters, 22 of the 23 aircraft were returned to Boeing by American Airlines after it bought TWA.
