Southwest detailed its plans to assign seats and sell extra legroom on flights starting in 2025. The company will also take advantage of the shortage of Boeing 737s and sell some from its order book and existing fleet, offsetting a portion of upcoming capital expenditures.
Southwest is adapting to customer preferences for premium seats, which could increase revenue yield and its profitability, which has suffered recently.
As the largest passenger carrier in the US, Southwest faces competition from legacy carriers as well as lower-cost airlines.
