Announces Receipt of Delisting Notification from NASDAQ INDIANAPOLIS, IN, November 2, 2004 -- ATA Holdings Corp. (ATAHQ), the parent company of ATA Airlines, Inc., today announced that it received written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that due to the Company's announced filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and in accordance with Marketplace Rules 4300 and 4450(f), NASDAQ determined that the Company's securities will be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market at the opening of business on November 5, 2004, unless the Company requests a hearing in accordance with the Marketplace Rule 4800 Series. Since the Company does not intend to request such a hearing, the Company's securities will not be immediately eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board because of the pending Chapter 11 proceedings. Although the Company's securities are not immediately eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, the securities may become eligible if a market maker makes application to register in and quote the securities in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-11. The Company is not aware that a market maker intends to make such an application. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, the fifth character "Q" has been appended to the Company's trading symbol. Accordingly, the trading symbol for the Company's securities was changed from ATAH to ATAHQ at the opening of business on October 29, 2004. The Company's securities may be traded on the Pink Sheets following the delisting by NASDAQ.
