Southwest Airlines Innovation

Southwest Airlines is Big, Beautiful and the Best in the world at what it does (short haul, high frequency, low cost flights). Currently it is dominating the US air travel market but we can’t wait for it to unleash its marketing power further afield. Rumours are that it will start international services during 2009 and sometime after that will appear in European skies – those of us who love the way low cost airlines have made air travel available to millions of more people can’t wait !!!!
