I like Southwest Airlines quite a bit, so I was interested to see this article describing their plans for expansion at a time that other airlines are reeling from rising fuel costs:

Its competitors among the network carriers — American, United, Delta, Continental, Northwest and US Airways — are shrinking passenger capacity by more than 10 percent and grounding hundreds of aircraft starting in the fall. Southwest will add a handful of daily flights. It will take delivery of another dozen aircraft next year and still plans to grow by 2 to 3 percent.

How can Southwest pull off this move? Read the full article, “Southwest Airlines’ Seven Secrets for Success“, to learn more.
