Comments by top executives came during an exclusive, joint interview on the same day Bob Jordan became the Dallas-based carrier's sixth CEO in the company's 51 year history.

– Southwest Airlines top executives said Tuesday, Feb. 1, they may consider expanding operations and have flights at a second airport in North Texas later this decade.

Jordan said they’re looking forward to 2022 and posting a profit in March along with each quarter and the rest of the year. “Our highest order of priority from a network perspective is restoring it back to what it was in 2019 because that adds depth for our customers, it adds recoverability for our customers and our employees and it’s just very important to do that.”

Southwest ended 2021 with 728 aircraft and Jordan said the long-term plan is to expand. “We’re going to grow this company to 5,000 flights a day, 1,000 aircraft in the fleet.”
