![]() ![]() What I could most see Southwest doing is something along the lines of the Allegiant & Viva Aerobus alliance, allowing Allegiant to grow in Mexico and Viva Aerobus to expand in the United States.It goes without saying Southwest won’t join one of the “big three” alliances, since American, Delta, and United are founding members of those alliances, and wouldn’t welcome Southwest.I can’t see Southwest partnering with a major airline in the United States, both for competitive reasons, and because business models aren’t compatible Southwest has a robust route network, prides itself in two free checked bags, doesn’t do assigned seating, etc.Here are my initial thoughts about what partnerships could (and couldn’t) make sense for Southwest: What airline partnerships could Southwest launch?Īll we can do is speculate as of now, though I sure think I’m not the only one who finds this to be fascinating. Just because the airline is exploring the potential of something doesn’t necessarily mean it will happen after all, an airline with tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue hiring a person to explore the possibility of something isn’t a major expense.Since the airline is just hiring a senior manager for this role now, I would expect it to be quite some time before any partnerships launch.Southwest hasn’t otherwise said much publicly about developing airline partnerships, so I’d consider this posting to be pretty significant. #employment #career - Henry Harteveldt June 1, 2022 Is going to interline with other #airlines?
