Southwest mulls move to 3rd major US airport

[bravodude]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Southwest Airlines Co. may add flights to a third new major U.S. airport as early as next fall, as the low-cost carrier shifts its traditional focus on less-trafficked, secondary airports.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Chief Executive Gary Kelly said there are "decent odds" the Dallas-based carrier will look to add flights to a new major U.S. airport next year, following the addition of Minneapolis-St. Paul and New York's LaGuardia Airport

CVG or CLT will be the other.

Big deal.

 

[Saluki Dawg]

BOS or ATL.

 

[Tanker Clown]

Maybe DSM.

 

[Dude]

PNS, PNS, PNS, PNS........VPS, VPS, VPS, VPS, VPS...........maybe ATL.

 

[Richard Gozinya]

It'll be CVG........and the Village Idiot will be doing the Double Dumps......

CLT. Blood in the water.

 

[Tanker Clown]

COS. I hear WestPac is on their last legs.

 

[mt2]

Big deal.

It is to me. Hopefully it'll help a bunch of us out of the pool earlier. I'd lean towards ATL or CLT.

CLT or ATL would look good on the napkin. It would clear up some of the white space between VA and FL.

Never ATL... too much AitTran there... CVG would make sense since it's being completely abandoned

From the Market Watch article, "Kelly said he was confident his airline could maintain its high standard for on-time efficiency despite the airport's reputation as a traffic bottleneck."

It would be so much fun being a fly on the wall in whatever NYC office those Texans from SWA meet in telling the Port Authority how to do its job.

The Port Authority is not PHL. Looks like Kelly and crew will have to learn this lesson the hard way.

BOS or ATL.

My money was on CVG or CLT but I flew with a mgmnt type this week that brought up BOS or ATL. You might be right....

 

[Scope out RJ's]

Will this be serviced by Westjet or Volaris?

 

[Seaknight1]

Looks like Southwest is going to take on Delta. I say it's either CVG or MEM. BOS is another possibility. I know CVG board would jump at a chance to have SWA come to CVG. I forsee remodeling T-1 or building a brand new one to accomidate SWA.

 

[bravodude]

My money is on BOS! I have a feeling we might be going after the shuttle pax since we are going to be in LGA.

 

[DH2WN]

You guys keep saying CVG....The article said MAJOR airport.

 

[Scope out RJ's]

My money is on BOS!

Is that before or after you bought your job?:laugh:

I have a feeling we might be going after the shuttle pax since we are going to be in LGA.

So will it be Westjet or Volaris serving those routes?
After all, you don't mind an international code share!
