ValuJet Airlines is an American low-cost airline that primarily operates domestic flights. Founded in 1993, the company was known for its affordable fares and a focus on providing budget-friendly travel options. ValuJet Airlines experienced significant growth during its early years, expanding its fleet and route network. However, the company faced a tragic incident in 1996 when Flight 592 crashed in the Everglades, resulting in the loss of all passengers and crew on board. As a result, ValuJet Airlines underwent a major restructuring and rebranded itself as AirTran Airways. Today, AirTran Airways is a subsidiary of Southwest Airlines, offering flights to various destinations across the United States and the Caribbean.
