New cities?
 
Has there been any talk of WN flying in/out of SBA or SBP in Central California?

I have not heard that but I was talking to a person who works at Southwest recently and she said they were going to significantly expands flights out of Denver. She said soon it will be their largest location.

WN SBP Job Postings - Live!
 
Good day everyone! I just noticed a handful of job postings for Southwest at SBP, all of which were added in the last 5 days or so. JetBlue also had one posted. I haven’t heard of either airline announcing routes with SBP so this may be interesting.

Yea... major expansion. And that scares me with all the problems Denver seems to have. Have to admit, I have not studied the numbers but have experience with major airport slowdowns due to wind.

Yes, Southwest is adding 16 gates at Denver from its current 24 to 40 gates so a large increase. -- Under the deal that was approved by the committee Wednesday, Southwest will add 16 under-construction gates on the east end of Concourse C to the 24 it already controls there. It will move into the new facilities by the middle of 2022.

there was an ad that mentioned new airports recently added or soon to add.

over the past decade southwest was looking to expand. I think Kansas City had a real shot at being that but was super slow on rebuilding it’s airport terminal so southwest went to denver to get gates and doing this planned extension in the terminal.

it’s all in how you measure

cities with direct non stop flights?
number of daily flights?
pax load?

southwest also does heavier seasonal service with some airports Then drops flights in off seasons.

thus counting planes not PAX.

because of them cutting flights they used central airports as hubs for coast to coast flights and dropping most 4+ hr flights.

Links show DIA #1 for WN destinations and departures. Statista enplanement data (2020) also ranked DIA in front. By a lot.

Finding no evidence that ranking was lost last year.
