— Boosted by full flights during the holidays, Dallas-based Southwest Airlines posted a narrow $68 million profit for the fourth quarter. But the airline warned Thursday that it expects to lose money in the first three months of 2022.
New reported cases of COVID-19 cases remain extremely high, but began to decline last week. Citing that trend, Jordan said, “the worst appears to be behind us, and we are optimistic about current bookings and revenue trends for March.” Southwest attempted to grow faster than other U.S. airlines as travel rebounded last year, but the strategy backfired, as staffing shortages contributed to high numbers of canceled flights last summer and fall.When other airlines started canceling flights around Christmas because of employees being out with COVID-19, Southwest was not hit as hard.
