More than 30 years ago, Rollin King and Herb Kelleher got together and decided to start a different kind of airline. They began with one simple notion: If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares, and make darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly your airline. And you know what? They were right. Southwest Airlines has become the fourth largest major airline in America. We fly more than 64 million passengers a year to 58 great cities (59 airports) all over the Southwest and beyond. And we do it more than 2,700 times a day.
