Hoping to quell potential motivations behind a panic sale in its shares late Friday afternoon, AirTran issued updated financial information concerning the airline’s financial status.

The airline said it is in full compliance with the terms of its credit card agreements, and has no holdbacks with any of its major credit card processors.

AirTran also said its liquidity position has strengthened this year, with the total cash and investments balance increasing to $358 million at March 31, up from $326 million at Dec. 31.

The airline said it expects its liquidity to further strengthen during the second quarter.
