Quick Glance: Southwest and American Airlines Face Financial Challenges
  • Southwest Airlines, the largest carrier at San Antonio International Airport, will limit hiring and stop flying to four airports as it copes with weak financial results and delays in getting new planes from Boeing.

  • Southwest will also trim flights in Atlanta and at O’Hare International Airport to focus on more profitable locations, expecting to receive only 20 new 737 Max 8 jets from Boeing this year, down from the anticipated 46.

  • CEO Robert Jordan stated Southwest was reacting quickly to address financial underperformance by slowing down hiring and asking employees to take time off.

  • American Airlines, San Antonio’s second-largest carrier, reported a loss of $312 million as labor costs rose by 18%. The airline expects to return to profitability in the second quarter with earnings between $1.15 and $1.45 per share.
