Vacation chaos as major airline axes flights to four airports and fires 2,000 employees in major shake-up
- Southwest Airlines flights to Cozumel, Syracuse, Bellingham and Houston cut
- Cuts down to delays in Boeing delivery after a year of aviation disasters
Southwest Airlines is no longer flying from four airports, it announced on Thursday in a major shake-up after reporting underwhelming profits.
Two thousand employees will also lose their jobs, and the airline expects to receive only 20 aircraft this year, 26 fewer than previously expected.
It exclusively uses Boeing 737 jets in its fleet.
Boeing’s problems have become their’s.
