Press Release Source: Southwest Airlines On Thursday October 28, 2010, 1:30 pm
DALLAS, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southwest Airlines is excited to launch a new product that allows Customers to book international flights by connecting with Volaris, Mexico's second-largest airline. Starting Nov. 12, Customers can book service from 20 Southwest cities to five Volaris Mexican destinations (Cancun, Guadalajara, Morelia, Toluca/Mexico City, and Zacatecas), for travel starting Dec. 1. The new service will connect through Los Angeles International Airport, Oakland International Airport, and San Jose International Airport and will create up to 85 additional flight itineraries. For a complete list of possible routes, click here: http://swamedia.com/presskits/connecting-to-mexico-with-volaris

As Volaris grows, additional Southwest cities will open international destinations, continuing Southwest's commitment to network expansion. To learn more about the carrier's international connect product, check out Southwest's blog at www.blogsouthwest.com.

"In 2008, we announced our intent to offer Customers international service by utilizing a partnership with Volaris. Today, we are proud to introduce our one-of-a-kind connecting product that will foster Southwest's growth by providing Customers the ability to book international destinations to Volaris' expanded network," said Bob Jordan, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Planning for Southwest Airlines. "This is an important day for Southwest and Volaris Employees; we have worked diligently to create a unique product that will uphold our high levels of Customer Service, stimulate additional revenue for both carriers, and offer great new destinations for both airlines' Customers."

The connecting service will provide Southwest and Volaris Customers a convenient transaction and travel experience. Southwest's international connect portal will conduct two separate transactions, one with Southwest's reservations system and one with Volaris' reservations system. The newly developed technology will connect the two transactions and provide Customers with an easy booking experience and one low fare. Customers traveling on an international connection will be required to check in with each carrier, but luggage will be transferred by the airlines and delivered to the final destination. Southwest Customers can book travel and learn more about Volaris' service, policies, and procedures at www.southwest.com/Mexico.

"We are proud of the great work both airlines have completed in the past two years. This partnership will strengthen our growth strategy and will solidify our service in the United States," said Enrique Beltranena, CEO of Volaris. "The objective of this partnership is to provide a convenient and affordable itinerary for our Customers, while offering a higher level of service on both sides of the border."

Southwest has created an international desk staffed with bilingual Customer Service Agents to support this effort. Customers can call 1-888-329-8776 for assistance with their travel. If calling internationally, Customers can use 011-888-829-8776.

Yes, it suks.

Our scope eliminates all domestic & far international codeshare. It allows intra-island & near international (with limits). Im not at home, but i think the limits are 4% of our domestic ASMs (with matching growth of ou own metal flying across the border). Someone can tighten me up here, if i am wrong.

You're right.

Don't think it's kinda funny, mostly sad. SWAPA has entered a new era with the same issues that effects the other major airline companies, they just don't fully realize it yet and still think mgmt is "gonna take care of them" in the end. The rooster is coming home.....
 
No... Its funny.. Because MGMT is MGMT. I have been hearing for years that SWA haS IRON CLAD scope... MGMT found away.

Clark,

Please read Cruncher above, that was brought about during TA2. Mgmt didn't find a way, we had no codeshare restriction before or with TA1. All this happened just last year.

Dick
 
I think we'll learn the way with Volaris, figure it out, then send them packing. We are running classes next year. I don't believe our pilot group is gonna suffer.

Scope and codeshare are different.

Our pilot group voted on the last contract which had all the scope and codeshare provisions in it. It passed by 88%.
 
Hey what ever makes you sleep at night. Like it or not, outsourcing is happening right in front of you. It's easy to turn a blind eye with your pay scales.
