The mission of
Southwest Airlines is
dedication to the highest
quality of Customer Service
delivered with a sense of
warmth, friendliness,
individual pride, and
Company Spirit.

The bottom line is that Southwest Airlines can help your bottom line in many ways, but most importantly, we offer an inherent value.  Southwest offers everyday low fares; we have excellent on-time performance; and we provide award-winning Customer Service.

For almost 37 years, Southwest has gained a reputation for being the low fare leader in the airline industry. This is evidenced by what has been referred to as the “Southwest Effect,” a term coined by the Department of Transportation (DOT) which refers to the dramatic increase in air travel when Southwest enters a market previously dominated by carriers with very high fares.

Since the DOT began tracking ontime statistics in 1987, Southwest Airlines has maintained the best cumulative ontime performance record among all major U.S. airlines through November of 2007. Southwest's frequent flights allow business travelers a high volume of flight options. Because we get there ontime and offer many flights to choose from, we help business travelers and corporations be more productive.

At Southwest, we have lots of fun, but we take our Customer Service Commitment seriously--just take a look at our mission statement.

We are proud to say that Southwest serves over 100 million Customers per year, and we have consistently led the airline industry with the lowest ratio of complaints per passengers boarded since the DOT started tracking Customer Satisfaction statistics.

At Southwest we understand how important it is for corporations to have access to their preferred airline partner through Global Distribution Systems (GDS). Southwest fares and schedules are also available through Sabre and Apollo.  Through these channels, corporate travel departments and travel agencies can access Southwest's published, core fares.  Also coming soon, Southwest's core fares and schedules will be available through WorldSpan.

Southwest is very selective about which third party technology vendors it allows to market its brand.  Currently Booking Builder Technologies is the only authorized third party technology provider to market the Southwest brand. Booking Builder is a software application that works with both GDSs and corporate online booking tools. Booking Builder is a useful tool because it reduces data entry and keystrokes for the end-user, thus making the reservation process much faster and simpler.
