Valu Jet Airlines

Valu Jet Airlines

ValuJet Airlines was an American low-cost carrier, headquartered in unincorporated Clayton County, Georgia, that operated regularly scheduled domestic and international flights in the Eastern United States and Canada during the 1990s. After a series of safety problems and the fatal crash of Flight 592, the company merged with the much smaller regional airline AirWays Corp., now known as AirTran Holdings. ValuJet, while the nominal survivor of the merger, chose to replace its tarnished name with AirTran's. The successor airline, AirTran Airways, was acquired by Southwest Airlines in 2011.
