Southwest Airlines has experienced breakthrough success through its unique marketing approach focused on customer service and low fares. It began in 1971 with a goal of getting customers to their destinations on time at the lowest prices while ensuring a good customer experience. Southwest marketed itself as the "LUV airlines" and featured a bright red heart logo initially. Today it serves 72 cities across 32 states and continues investing in customer service through amenities like free bags and onboard Wi-Fi.
3. History
Southwest Airlines entered the airline industry in 1971 with little money.
More than 39 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 sure they have
a good time doing it, people will fly your airline. And you know what? They
were right.
Marketing itself as the LUV airlines.
4. What's LUV?
Southwest has been in LUV with our Customers from the very beginning .
Therefore, it's fitting that we began service to San Antonio and Houston
from Love Field in Dallas on June 18, 1971.
As our Company and Customers grew, our LUV grew too!
Then in 1977, our stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the ticker symbol "LUV.“
Southwest currently serves 72 cities in 32 states.
