Southwest Airlines has entered into a significant offtake agreement with USA BioEnergy for up to 680 million gallons of neat sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Over a 20-year term, once blended with conventional jet fuel, this SAF could yield the equivalent of 2.59 billion gallons of net-zero fuel, resulting in a reduction of 30 million metric tons of CO2 emissions.

Southwest Airlines has extended its flight schedule through August 4, 2024, with a focus on international expansion and network growth. Starting June 4, 2024, Southwest will introduce daily nonstop service from Orlando, Florida, to international destinations including Cancun, Grand Cayman, Nassau, Providenciales, Punta Cana, and San José.
