About
Southwest Airlines is a Dallas, Texas-based low-cost carrier — listed on NYSE (NYSE: LUV) — operating a point-to-point domestic US network with 817+ aircraft (all Boeing 737) to 121 airports in the US, Mexico, and the Caribbean, generating $26.4 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2024 and carrying 131 million passengers annually. Founded in 1967 by Herb Kelleher and Rollin King, Southwest built its model around operational simplicity: one aircraft type (737), no assigned seating, no baggage fees (first two checked bags free), no change fees, and direct routes without hub connections — a "LUV" brand identity that combined value with warmth.
