Southwest, AirTran now a single carrier
Southwest and AirTran are now a single airline in the eyes of the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency today issued Southwest a "single operating certificate that covers it and subsidiary AirTran, which Southwest acquired last year. Southwest calls the approval "a key milestone in the integration of the two airlines." (travel.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
When will the "Citrus" call sign be merged into "Southwest"?
Hope that citrus is not a "lemon"
I'm guessing August. That's when they're switching the flights over.
Now that they have a SOC the FAA (Air Traffic Control) sees them as a single operator so they should all be using SWA
The two carriers will now operate as a single carrier with a "partition". This will allow them to technically funtion as two seperate airlines while using the same set of OpSpecs. This is different than the big SOC dates of DAL/NWA and UAL/COA.

Still using Citrus @ KBWI. TRS946 just cleared to land about 2 minutes ago.
Today should be the last day they use citrus and TRS.
