Discount carrier reportedly is in talks to acquire struggling ATA for an undisclosed price. October 14, 2004: 7:15 AM EDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - America West Airlines is in talks to acquire all or part of low-cost carrier ATA Airlines, according to a published report Thursday. The Wall Street Journal, which spoke to people familiar with the matter, did not specify how much America <http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?shownav=true&symb=AWA> West (Research <http://cnnfn.multexinvestor.com/Reports.aspx?ticker=AWA> ) would pay for the debt-heavy, Indianapolis-based carrier, which is struggling to restructure its finances. The report said that other airlines have shown interest in ATA <http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?shownav=true&symb=ATAH> (Research <http://cnnfn.multexinvestor.com/Reports.aspx?ticker=ATAH> ), whose market value is about $31 million, with AirTran Airways -- a rival low-cost air carrier -- having held preliminary talks with the air carrier. <http://i.cnn.net/money/images/contextual/advlinks1.gif> <http://i.cnn.net/money/images/contextual/cl_bar.gif> <javascript:CNN_openPopup('/services/overture/cl/frameset.exclude.html', '620x430','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,sc rollbars=no,resizable=no,width=620,height=430')> <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVOsTEDhgyFX%2BMpvslOp HgyUUB1KsDrOn6g0vRW5XxaEvb6FNAhCVeE%2Fn%2Frfv9%2Fyy3l9dYyb7RKlBGsy5pYOZ7 1oJCj%2BcGNPvS49EQKW%2BCN8vsNoMJZDU5w%2F1Ob8z6NCDgYwZxr%2BMV5vUw6oZl6zW3 t0iSp2tfjH0GhA1R9YUvJ7VU7JzfPze7z0qqzKPG8zkHUuUspkH0pfGyqjLbZ0HfOqIjszm1 JpcdeSok40ww3LNhuZV31SN6jwftBe2R%2Ff6emUnlxlc0T4c93jWI%3D&yargs=www.etfw atch.com> Latest News on Exchange Traded Funds ETF Watch provides news and investment ideas covering SPY, DIA, QQQ's and over... www.etfwatch.com <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVOsTEDhgyFX%2BMpvslOp HgyUUB1KsDrOn6g0vRW5XxaEvb6FNAhCVeE%2Fn%2Frfv9%2Fyy3l9dYyb7RKlBGsy5pYOZ7 1oJCj%2BcGNPvS49EQKW%2BCN8vsNoMJZDU5w%2F1Ob8z6NCDgYwZxr%2BMV5vUw6oZl6zW3 t0iSp2tfjH0GhA1R9YUvJ7VU7JzfPze7z0qqzKPG8zkHUuUspkH0pfGyqjLbZ0HfOqIjszm1 JpcdeSok40ww3LNhuZV31SN6jwftBe2R%2Ff6emUnlxlc0T4c93jWI%3D&yargs=www.etfw atch.com> <http://i.cnn.net/money/images/contextual/cl_dotted.gif> <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVOsTDERBCFf2XKa7Sxx9i 3rAK6RAruKPqWJMCIEc67m9%2FL85MhIdiE9naMzfPm2beGLpplFvMl%2FUgVLIwUNSJDtSW yQUJQWgidq06RR5ttLeJXgBWvcAGJGtEspf1h0FPktDgs11e2ptsG5W8OeaGe11xpkWabxQc O%2B0RYT5CsThWJZDU%2BRRScLL8m0yHG8S7ng%2FZ4BynzH63DSLIjh1QjoqYRCpnFFJVhx 9HNPK%2FYxiWH%2Ft5p%2Bv2Lr5g%2B%2BbyS9K%2Fsx0%2F0GEo31hmfAL4PN75k&yargs= www.commoditynews.net> Futures and Options Investment News Register with CommodityNews.net - free unlimited access to investment services,... www.commoditynews.net <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVOsTDERBCFf2XKa7Sxx9i 3rAK6RAruKPqWJMCIEc67m9%2FL85MhIdiE9naMzfPm2beGLpplFvMl%2FUgVLIwUNSJDtSW yQUJQWgidq06RR5ttLeJXgBWvcAGJGtEspf1h0FPktDgs11e2ptsG5W8OeaGe11xpkWabxQc O%2B0RYT5CsThWJZDU%2BRRScLL8m0yHG8S7ng%2FZ4BynzH63DSLIjh1QjoqYRCpnFFJVhx 9HNPK%2FYxiWH%2Ft5p%2Bv2Lr5g%2B%2BbyS9K%2Fsx0%2F0GEo31hmfAL4PN75k&yargs= www.commoditynews.net> <http://i.cnn.net/money/images/contextual/cl_dotted.gif> <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVvMTCDhRBK%2FxunGemz4 9w9gOQtlHdDiESipYOWJ2L%2BbQl9FKlVVb1v76d6e9%2FnQbAxLjHlXkpzY0MnxUw9Oc9D4 srVRjneNHuUhjcvkhdManjTDGrQYWthVlHhCDE1NerI5t6Xejza2ocHVCGtlVWcz%2FVl5yM YduPOK0TWO1q%2FeM05R26Gtq0l8nryDtZ%2BnHxXTjvo5Jkfg5%2B9fiRIJgP7LCvhbKULX BSXWOhwLJbhcaReJx3ludPa2lV%2FPvvl%2BlbWPtgfj%2FzsZbeWGZgBv8XMr2c%3D&yarg s=www.investmentcompanies.us> Investment Companies and Newsletters Find financial services, guides and research reports for traders and investors.... www.investmentcompanies.us <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVvMTCDhRBK%2FxunGemz4 9w9gOQtlHdDiESipYOWJ2L%2BbQl9FKlVVb1v76d6e9%2FnQbAxLjHlXkpzY0MnxUw9Oc9D4 srVRjneNHuUhjcvkhdManjTDGrQYWthVlHhCDE1NerI5t6Xejza2ocHVCGtlVWcz%2FVl5yM YduPOK0TWO1q%2FeM05R26Gtq0l8nryDtZ%2BnHxXTjvo5Jkfg5%2B9fiRIJgP7LCvhbKULX BSXWOhwLJbhcaReJx3ludPa2lV%2FPvvl%2BlbWPtgfj%2FzsZbeWGZgBv8XMr2c%3D&yarg s=www.investmentcompanies.us> <http://i.cnn.net/money/images/contextual/cl_dotted.gif> <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVOwTDDhgyFX3LLSSycHBD k6CFpWnYnXuA2laLqtNFZJN7HLp7aQ%2BEBf5O3%2Bdn9%2B6c3MM4UN0fSHFwQvsro8NF4% 2Bca4OQN%2BJlvDcdoxfTVsW6dIV2A8fdqvxfk0xp9abxqRz4Z0zSFaGFCggcCM0cNWBxO4C VCtJVFDML1fIeUqGgUkOCX3FWSrS6XLRQhSlCnVZOVvjd3Q1nUcZa0Ihcig2uflgK8LK%2Fn RCUaASK3N2j5g%2Fqa6Qk%2FWy%2F5h3DIf3GwN7YWjdCwYwYsjTgFt9t5I0wbfeZOM%2Br% 2F%2BmpvifS7bp8Vnte2Gf%2F%2FNGWxw28m0H9Aj1TN2&yargs=www.reuters.com> Up-to-the-Minute Financial Info: Reuters Whether you're a financial professional or just learning the ropes, Reuters... www.reuters.com <http://www21.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=05u3hs9yoakHVOwTDDhgyFX3LLSSycHBD k6CFpWnYnXuA2laLqtNFZJN7HLp7aQ%2BEBf5O3%2Bdn9%2B6c3MM4UN0fSHFwQvsro8NF4% 2Bca4OQN%2BJlvDcdoxfTVsW6dIV2A8fdqvxfk0xp9abxqRz4Z0zSFaGFCggcCM0cNWBxO4C VCtJVFDML1fIeUqGgUkOCX3FWSrS6XLRQhSlCnVZOVvjd3Q1nUcZa0Ihcig2uflgK8LK%2Fn RCUaASK3N2j5g%2Fqa6Qk%2FWy%2F5h3DIf3GwN7YWjdCwYwYsjTgFt9t5I0wbfeZOM%2Br% 2F%2BmpvifS7bp8Vnte2Gf%2F%2FNGWxw28m0H9Aj1TN2&yargs=www.reuters.com> The U.S. airline industry has lost more than $30 billion since the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
