Southwest closing operations at 4 airports: Southwest is closing operations at four airports because of delivery delays for Boeing airliners ...

thehill.com/policy/transportation/4620933-southwest-closing-operations-four-airports/

Quick Glance: Southwest and American Airlines Face Financial Challenges

Southwest Airlines, the largest carrier at San Antonio International Airport, will limit hiring and stop flying to four airports as it copes with weak financial results and delays in getting new planes from Boeing.

Southwest will also trim flights in Atlanta and at O’Hare International Airport to focus on more profitable locations, expecting to receive only 20 new 737 Max 8 jets from Boeing this year, down from the anticipated 46.

CEO Robert Jordan stated Southwest was reacting quickly to address financial underperformance by slowing down hiring and asking employees to take time off.

American Airlines, San Antonio’s second-largest carrier, reported a loss of $312 million as labor costs rose by 18%. The airline expects to return to profitability in the second quarter with earnings between $1.15 and $1.45 per share.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

Quick Glance: Oakland Airport Considers Adding 'San Francisco' to Name

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.
