ATA Connection Sets Record for Number of Enplaned Passengers

INDIANAPOLIS, November 7, 2002 – ATA Connection (Chicago Express Airlines,
Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATA Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: ATAH), today
reported that it has set another company record. In October, the regional
airline carried more than 90,000 enplaned passengers (the total number of
revenue passengers boarding an aircraft) system-wide.  This record high
surpasses the previous service record set in July of this year, with 89,000
enplaned passengers.

“ATA Connection has been aggressively working to achieve this important
milestone,” said Gary Marsh, ATA Connection’s President.  “The demand for
service has been high, and our customers have responded phenomenally to our
recently added destinations and frequencies.  As we look to the future, we
eagerly anticipate breaking this record once again.”

ATA Connection currently provides regional airline service between
Chicago-Midway and 13 Midwestern cities. During the last six months, the
carrier added five new destinations, including Moline, Ill., Toledo, Ohio,
Flint, Mich., Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Lexington, Ky.  And due to customer
demand, an additional daily flight has been added to both Toledo and Flint
since their inception in June and July, respectively.

Now celebrating its 30th year of operation, ATA is the nation’s 10th largest
passenger carrier based on revenue passenger miles.  ATA operates
significant scheduled service from Chicago-Midway and Indianapolis to over
40 business and vacation destinations.  To learn more about the Company,
