AirTran Airways announced plans to reduce capacity by approximately 7-8% during the last four months of 2008, with CEO, Robert Fornaro, stating, "our priorities have clearly shifted. Growth is far down the list of things we're interested in." Instead, the airline plans to focus on building available cash reserves and returning to profitability.
