Southwest eyes international growth for 2012
Southwest Airlines could expand into international markets as early as next year, Chief Financial Officer Laura Wright said Thursday. The carrier will begin taking delivery of larger Boeing 737-800 aircraft in 2012, allowing efficient service on international routes "should we want to." Wright also noted that takeover target AirTran Airways has an extensive network in the Caribbean, bringing needed expertise in international service. "We're certainly going to learn a lot about those international markets with AirTran," she said.
