ATA Airlines Bankruptcy: Cancellations and Refunds Information

[jwpamp]

ATA has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

All flights have been cancelled. Check the website for more info: ATA Airlines

If you paid with a credit card you can call the card company, but if you paid with cash or check, you are out of luck and have lost your money.

I hope that this doesn't affect anyone here, but there are nearly 3000 people out of work (flight attendents, pilots, workers).

Did anyone have flights to vacations or National Conference booked thru them? We ALWAYS took ATA to Hawaii....luckily we don't have anything planned for this year yet!

I've never even heard of them

I've flown on them in the past (to Vegas) and was not overly impressed with their service - not a big surprise but sad for all the people who are employed by them and have flights through them.

It's scary how many companies are going out of business these days. I am very thankful that we have Warren Buffet and Doris Christopher at the helm...

I agree Carolyn. I met a gal the other day who was with Henn for 18 years...they closed up shop in December.

This is what suprised me:

ATA currently is unable to provide refunds to customers who purchased tickets directly from ATA with cash or a check. These customers may be able to obtain a full or partial refund for their unused tickets by submitting a claim in ATA’s Chapter 11 proceedings. Information about submitting a claim will be available at the following website: The BMC Group - ATA Airlines.
