SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO. ยค SIX STORIES OF FREEDOM
While our focus has been shorthaul, we have lately augmented our service with
longhaul flights (over 750 miles). We have added more longhaul flights over the last
three years to mitigate the effects of new ticket taxes, which penalize shorthaul fares,
and to take advantage of excellent route opportunities. Longhaul flights still constitute
ten percent or less of our flights but are very successful and an excellent complement
to our established shorthaul route network.
