PROFILE |
 |
Southwest Airlines will fly any plane, as long it's a Boeing 737, and let passengers sit anywhere they like, as long as they get there first. Sticking with what works, Southwest has expanded its low-cost, no-frills, no-reserved-seats approach to air travel throughout the US to serve more than 57 cities in 29 states. To curb maintenance and training costs, the airline uses only Boeing 737s; it operates about 320 planes. Southwest offers ticketless travel to trim back-office costs and operates its own reservation system. The airline boasts a highly participative corporate culture and a strike-free string of 27 profitable years. Southwest is expanding service to the eastern US.
