The Dispatch wrote Southwest is here to stay, CEO says
BY MARLA MATZER ROSESouthwest Airlines expects to be a “steady, growing, stable force” at Port Columbus during a troubled time for U.S. air travel, the airline’s chief executive said yesterday.However, Southwest doesn’t expect to pick up the slack left at the airport with the abrupt closing of Skybus Airlines last month. Southwest overall is pulling back on growth as the industry rides out the current economic downturn and skyrocketing oil prices, so it’s unlikely to add much service here soon.
