New Planes for Southwest Airlines Could Mean International Routes

More Good News to read!...

New Planes for Southwest Airlines Could Mean International Routes: "

One of the secrets to Southwest Airlines’ success is the use of just one type of airplane. Southwest uses Boeing 737 jets exclusively, but they do have a couple different flavors of the planes. This allows them to make quick fixes on the ground when necessary, as many of the parts are interchangeable or at least useable when modified with a little bit of duct tape (kidding!). Now the airline is looking to add a new type of aircraft to their fleet, but don’t worry, it will still be a Boeing 737.

Southwest is eyeing the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, and this is significant as this might allow them to go to some new destinations, especially places outside the continental United States. The planes are larger, allowing more passengers to bring their bags along for free, but they also boast a little bit more range to get to places other than Disney World.
