ValuJet Airlines
ValuJet Airlines was an American low-cost carrier, headquartered in unincorporated Clayton County, Georgia,〔"(Civil Action No. 1-96-CV-1355-JTC )." ''Stanford University Law School''. Retrieved on May 19, 2009. "Defendant ValuJet maintains its principal executive offices in this District at 1800 Phoenix Boulevard, Atlanta, Georgia and many of the acts and transactions giving rise to the violations of law complained of herein, including the preparation and dissemination to the investing public of false and misleading information, occurred in this District."〕 that operated regularly scheduled domestic and international flights in the Eastern United States and Canada〔"(ValuJet Airlines routemap )." ''Departedflights.com''. Retrieved on July 4, 2009.〕 during the 1990s. The company was founded in 1992 and was known for its cost-cutting measures. All of the airline's planes were purchased used from other airlines, very little training was provided to workers, and contractors were used for maintenance and other services. The company quickly developed a reputation for its lax safety. In 1995, the military refused ValuJet's bid to fly military personnel over safety worries, and officials at the FAA wanted the airline to be grounded. The May 1996 crash of Flight 592, caused by illegally stored hazardous materials on board, spelled doom for the airline. ValuJet was grounded the next month and not allowed to fly again until September, with a greatly reduced fleet. The airline's major customers never returned and the company suffered major losses. In 1997, the company merged with the much smaller regional airline AirWays Corp., holding company for AirTran Airways. Although ValuJet was the nominal survivor, the merged airline operated as AirTran until its merger with Southwest Airlines in 2011. Airtran never acknowledged its past involvement with ValuJet and kept the airline's memorabilia locked in a warehouse in Atlanta. ==History==
