Southwest is adding daily service to the following destinations:
- Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ)
- Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN)
- Memphis International Airport (MEM)
- Tulsa International Airport (TUL)
Southwest operates a crew base out of Nashville International Airport (BNA) for both pilots and flight attendants. It’s the dominant carrier (with over 50% of market share) at the airport and has consistently grown since American Airlines closed its hub there in 1995. Other carriers hold around 10% or less of the traffic at the airport with Delta Air Lines taking second place followed by American Airlines, United Airlines, and Allegiant Airlines.
Anthony’s Take: Southwest is in a tough spot right now. It needs to evolve its business and is trying. We’ll see what other cuts and adds come in the near future.

Meanwhile in ATL today, WN announced it is dropping from 86 flights a day to 36 cities down to just 58 a day to 21 cities, ending nonstops ATL to PHL RIC GSP JAX PBI FLL MIA RSW SRQ CLE MKE OMA OKC SDF MEM. They are displacing 120 pilots and over 200 flight attendants. Minimum F/A seniority to hold ATL will be 18 years as of May. Leadership on site said to expect further changes. Ground staff will be reduced by about 40% and the remaining AirTran people at regional office (supporting HR, training, etc) have 10 days to decide if they want to move to DAL or consider themselves resigned.
Thank you for this great insight!
