U.S. markets recover from steep losses
DALLAS, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Southwest Airlines said Thursday it had changed its order with U.S. aerospace giant Boeing, substituting 20 of its 737-700s with 737-800s.
Southwest's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Kelly said the order change "represents many exciting opportunities for our employees and our customers."
The 737-800s, Kelly said in a statement, "sets the stage to bring more destinations into the realm of possibilities for Southwest to operate more economical aircraft, and to offer better scheduling flexibility in high-demand, slot-controlled or gate-restricted markets."
The 737-800 model planes will come with full extended-range twin-engine operational performance standards, a quiet cabin and improved security features, the airline said.
