Southwest plans to reduce capacity, reevaluate 2024 financial outlook on delivery delays from Boeing

Associated Press  

Shares of Southwest plunged Tuesday as the airline said that it plans to reduce capacity and reevaluate its full-year financial outlook because of fewer expected aircraft deliveries from it supplier, Boeing. The comments came one day after Buttigieg said the aircraft builder is under “enormous” scrutiny by his department since a panel blew off of a Boeing 737 Max jetliner in midflight. That followed the company’s admission that it couldn’t find records that the National Transportation Safety Board sought for work done on the panel at a Boeing factory. Last week, Boeing, which is based in Arlington, Virginia, came under withering criticism by National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy over the missing work records on the Alaska jet.
