Southwest Airlines Signals Bold International Expansion — Is Your Airline Tech-Ready?

Big news in the aviation world! Southwest Airlines has filed a request with the U.S. Department of Transportation to fly to any country with an Open Skies agreement — paving the way for possible expansion into Europe, Asia, Africa, and beyond. 🌐

This marks a strategic shift from Southwest’s existing network in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America — signaling that low-cost international competition is about to get more intense.

📉 But here’s the catch: As airlines prepare to scale, technology costs can soar. That’s where TWAI steps in.
