                         PROSPECTUS DATED JULY 17, 1995

                         AS PREVIOUSLY SUPPLEMENTED BY
                 PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED OCTOBER 19, 1995


                         VALUJET, INC. AS SUCCESSOR TO
                             VALUJET AIRLINES, INC.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     On May 11, 1996, ValuJet Flight 592 from Miami to Atlanta crashed in the
Florida Everglades.  There were no survivors among the 110 people aboard,
including 105 customers and five flight crew members.  The crash, following a
number of incidents and heightened FAA scrutiny, resulted in extensive media
coverage calling into question the safety of low-fare airlines in general and
the Company in particular, despite the fact that the cause of the crash has not
yet been definitively determined.  In response to the accident, the FAA
conducted an extraordinary review of the Company's operations, including an FAA
inspection of each aircraft before departure, the review of the maintenance
history of each aircraft and the presence of an FAA inspector onboard each
Company aircraft at least once per week.  The intensive inspection process and
the redoubling of the Company's focus on safety resulted in many flight delays
and cancellations.  In response to these circumstances, the Company reduced its
schedule by more than 40% between May 19, 1996 and June 17, 1996, by reducing
service to its markets without eliminating service to any market.  In addition,
the Company retained The Spectrum Group and named James B. Davis (General USAF-
Ret.) as its "safety czar" to conduct a thorough inspection of the Company's
maintenance and safety policies and procedures.

     On June 17, 1996, the Company entered into a consent order with the FAA
under which: (i) the Company agreed to suspend operations until such time as the
Company is able to satisfy the FAA as to various safety concerns identified by
the FAA as a result of its intensive inspections of the Company's operations,
(ii) the FAA agreed to work with the Company in order to reestablish operations
with up to 15 aircraft, and (iii) the Company is to pay $2 million to the FAA to
compensate it for the costs of the special inspections conducted.  In order to
reduce costs while the Company prepares its plan to restore service, the Company
has furloughed more than 90% of its personnel.

     Other consequences of the accident, ensuing media coverage and shutdown of
operations include:

     1.   The Company is unable to predict with certainty when the Company will
be able to resume service or the level of service that will be offered at that
time.
<PAGE>
 
     2.   The expansion of the Company's operations will likely be subject to
FAA approval for an indefinite period of time.

     3.   The Company expects that its traffic after resumption of service will
be less than  experienced prior to suspension of operations.  The Company is
unable to predict how significantly the accident and shutdown will affect load
factors after the Company resumes operations or the length of time load factors
will be impacted.

     4.   The Company has sought to defer acceptance of certain aircraft
presently under contract and the Company may lease out or sell some of its
aircraft.

     5.   The Company has refunded fares paid by customers affected by the
Company's changing schedules and cancellations and by those who otherwise chose
to change their travel plans.

     6.   After resumption of service, the Company's cost per ASM will likely
increase to some extent to reflect the cost of any additional maintenance or
safety procedures adopted by the Company and lower aircraft utilization levels.

     7.   The Company may reduce its workforce permanently if the FAA, safety
concerns or lack of customer acceptance extends the period prior to the Company
reestablishing prior levels of service.

     8.   The aircraft destroyed was insured for $4.0 million which is in excess
of its book value.  The Company carries $750 million of liability insurance.
Although the Company believes that such insurance will be sufficient to cover
all claims arising from the accident, there can be no assurance that the
aggregate of all claims will not exceed such insurance limits.

     In light of these factors, persons investing in the securities of the
Company should be apprised of the following additional risk factors:

     1.   There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recover
sufficient customer acceptance in order to regain profitability.

     2.   Even if the Company regains profitability, the Company may have
permanently lost a certain amount of customer support which could decrease the
Company's profitability indefinitely.

     3.   The Company will likely face further losses of customer support as a
result of the shutdown of its operations in addition to the costs incurred
during the period operations have been affected.

     4.   If the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) were to determine
that the Company's maintenance procedures or aging aircraft contributed to the
cause of the accident, such determination could also have a substantial adverse
effect on the Company's future operations.

                                      -2-

     5.   The occurrence of one or more subsequent incidents or accidents by
ValuJet's aircraft would likely have a substantial adverse effect on the
Company's future operations.

STOCK SPLIT

     The Company paid a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend
on November 21, 1995 to stockholders of record on November 6, 1995.  As a
result, the number of shares registered for resale under the Prospectus has been
increased by the number of shares paid as a stock dividend with respect to the
previously registered, but unsold shares.
