About
Southwest Airlines operates the largest U.S. domestic airline by passengers boarded, with a fleet of nearly 800 Boeing 737 aircraft focused on point-to-point, short-haul leisure routes. The company is modernizing its business model in early 2026 by introducing premium cabin seating, assigned seats, and basic economy fares—changes designed to boost ancillary revenue and expand distribution through online travel booking platforms.
