Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan gave some of his strongest comments yet that the carrier plans to enter the long-haul international space in the coming years.
Speaking on the sidelines of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's annual aerospace summit in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday he said, "everything is on the table" — lounges, a true premium product and, especially, long-haul international flights — for Southwest.
Jordan went further to suggest that a decision in terms of a new airplane order could come soon. Given the years-long backlogs at plane makers Airbus and Boeing, Southwest would need to order a plane capable of intercontinental flights in the next year or two if it wants to debut said flights in the early 2030s, he added.
