     Vanguard Airlines Updates Status of Nasdaq Listing

Kansas City, MO - Vanguard Airlines, Inc. (NasdaqSC: VNGD) today
announced it received notice that Nasdaq has scheduled a hearing
on December 19, 2000, to review its continued listing on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company currently fails to comply
with the net tangible assets/market capitalization/net income
requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(02)(B).

Vanguard indicated that it will seek an extension from Nasdaq to
meet the minimum requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market. The Company intends to pursue various
alternatives to satisfy these requirements.  Should these
requirements not be satisfied before the soon-to-be scheduled
hearing, or should Nasdaq fail to grant a further extension of
time to allow the Company to become compliant, the Common Stock
of Vanguard Airlines would no longer be eligible for listing on
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and would then be eligible to be
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Kansas City-based Vanguard Airlines, which began service in
December 1994, is a value-priced, 100 percent ticketless
passenger airline. The airline provides convenient, scheduled jet
service to thirteen cities: Atlanta, Austin (beginning Jan. 7,
2001), Buffalo/Niagara Falls, Chicago-Midway, Dallas/Ft. Worth,
Denver, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Myrtle
Beach, New York-LaGuardia, New Orleans and Pittsburgh.  The
Company employs approximately 950 full-time equivalent employees
and currently operates a fleet of 13 Boeing 737s.  For more
information on Vanguard, visit the Company's Web site at

This press release contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements
are made based on management's belief, as well as assumptions
made by, and information currently available to, management
pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Further information on
such risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company's
financial results are included in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999, and in subsequent filings filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
