ATA was based out of Indy, but actually reduced flights from Indy after they filed for Chapter 11 in '04 and began codesharing with Southwest. Their "main hub" was Chicago-Midway with other "focus cities" being Honolulu and Oakland.

American Trans Air (ATA) was actually a larger airline than many recognized. Allot of their planes and flights were code-shared to Southwest, heading to Hawaii from Chicago-Midway, Phenix, Las Angeles, Oakland (California) and Las Vegas. Many other inland flights throughout the country "by" southwest, many times would of been ATA flights. I expect this will disrupt near future flights by Southwest and you will see an increase in consumer cost due to a contract disruption that SWA now will need to resolve.
