AirTran Airways Announces XM Satellite Radio Service to be Removed

AirTran Airways has announced that their commercial flights will soon be losing XM satellite radio.

In a recorded message on Monday, Southwest’s chief commercial officer Bob Jordan told all employees that they had decided to remove the satellite radio service from AirTran aircraft in order to offer “a consistent product” between Southwest and AirTran.
