AirTran Airways is adding three new routes to Orlando. Flights from Asheville, N.C., and Knoxville, Tenn., begin June 11. Flights from Atlantic City, N.J., begin June 12. AirTran currently does not serve either Asheville or Knoxville, and the airline just announced on Monday that it would begin service from Atlantic City with flights to Atlanta. Unlike Atlantic City, however, Knoxville and Asheville will get service only to Orlando, and not to AirTran’s Atlanta hub, where the carrier offers connections to dozens of cities.

From Asheville, AirTran will offer one round-trip flight to Orlando each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
