ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. , is pleased to present its second of three Satellite-based Aviation Navigational Tracking Apparatus (S.A.N.T.A.) reports. The following information regarding Santa Claus' international flight is based on data from AirTran Airways' System Operations Control (SOC) center in Orlando:
-- After briefly losing Santa on the radar, an eyewitness account confirmed that Santa met up with the Tooth Fairy for a quick bite in Germany, where startled fellow patrons overheard him receive a lecture on his cookie habit. With a new toothbrush and floss in tow, Santa continued westward. -- A short time later, Santa was spotted taking a tourist detour in Paris and wandering through the Louvre, fanny pack attached and camera in hand. -- Analysis of satellite patterns show that Santa's team of reindeer showed off their precision flying by performing a geometrically perfect figure eight around Big Ben before rocketing out of London. -- "The Claus" was last seen over the South Atlantic Ocean on his way to Brazil.
Please keep an eye out for the final S.A.N.T.A. update, scheduled to cross the national wire at 7:00 p.m. EST.
