Leading LCC enters Boston market.

Leading carrier Southwest Airlines has announced plans to strengthen its East Coast presence with its first scheduled flights from Boston Logan Airport. Southwest will serve BOS initially from Baltimore (BWI) and Chicago Midway (MDW).

Southwest will start services with a 5x weekly operation from August 16. The announcement comes hot on the heels of Southwest operating the same markets from La Guardia New York.

The Boston and La Guardia routes continue a growing Southwest trend to operate into main airports rather than secondary airport facilities.

Airports wishing to contact Southwest can contact the airline on the Southwest home page on ROL.
