Southwest Airlines has announced that it will cease operations at four airports due to delays in the delivery of jets from Boeing. The affected airports are Bellingham International Airport in Washington state, Cozumel International Airport in Mexico, Syracuse Hancock International Airport in New York, and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Southwest will continue to serve Houston’s other airport.
Southwest CEO Bob Jordan stated that the recent news from Boeing regarding further aircraft delivery delays poses significant challenges for the years 2024 and 2025. As a result, the airline has made the tough decision to close its operations at the four aforementioned airports.
