At the Southwest Airlines Rink at Skyline Park in downtown Denver, Denver Mayor Michael B.

“Our June and July schedule is the biggest in our history with as many as 3,800 flights a day,” said
Andrew Watterson, Southwest’s Vice President of Network Planning & Performance. “What we’re
announcing today is an additional investment in many of our long-time communities. We’re connecting our Customers to what’s important to them-- more seats at our low fares, our great Customer Service and policies, and better schedules through nonstop options.”

Community leaders were involved in similar gatherings of Southwest Airlines Employees and Leaders in Austin and Nashville, where Southwest service has grown through the years to offer dozens of nonstop markets supported by hundreds of locally-based Employees. Leaders in Indianapolis look forward to growing on their current base of 12 nonstop destinations served by 129 Indy-based Employees.
