Southwest to Shift Flights to Philadelphia
From Associated Press
Southwest Airlines Co. plans to cut 88 flights in October and shift planes to more profitable routes, mostly in and out of Philadelphia, executives said.
A spokesman said the Oct. 31 schedule changes would result in 41 daily flights at Philadelphia, where the Dallas-based carrier began service in May. The changes will affect about 3% of Southwest’s schedule of 2,800 daily flights.
Southwest said it would reduce flights between Kansas City and Chicago, Dallas and Tulsa, and Houston and New Orleans, among other routes.
Shares of Southwest fell 10 cents to $14.60 on the NYSE.
