Sept 14 (Reuters) – Southwest Airlines (LUV.N) said on Thursday it was better-prepared to handle upcoming winter weather thanks to the low-cost carrier’s “big investments” in improving de-icing capacity and staffing.
The Dallas-based company canceled thousands of flights in December last year after a massive winter storm crippled operations.
At an investor conference on Thursday, Southwest CEO Robert Jordan said the company has new technology that helps it better understand weather conditions.
