Fallout from the crash of Flight 592
ValuJet Airlines was renamed AirTran Airlines after the merger. All fleet and operations were transferred to AirTran Airways in 1998, and the ValuJet Airlines/AirTran Airlines operating certificate was surrendered. ValuJet's legal existence ended in 1999 when AirTran Airlines merged into AirTran Airways. However, while the merged airline operated under AirTran's FAA certificate, it retained ValuJet's stock price history and was initially headed by ValuJet's management team. Thus, ValuJet was the nominal corporate survivor.
