Southwest (LUV) to Add New Routes for Domestic Expansion
Read MoreHide Full Article
Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV - Free Report) announced plans to add three new destinations to its network as air-travel demand improves.
The airline will introduce services to Myrtle Beach, SC; Eugene, OR and Bellingham, WA. While flights to Myrtle Beach will start this summer, the same to Eugene and Bellingham will begin in the second half of 2021. The carrier stated that it has “opened or announced” 17 new airports, including the latest expansion initiative, since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. It further added that among these, the services which have already commenced operations have proved to be fruitful. Witnessing steady demand, the company has extended its winter service to Steamboat Springs, CO and Telluride, CO through this summer.
As travel demand continues to improve after being stalled in January due to rise in coronavirus cases, Southwest has been making efforts to expand its network. To this end, last month, it announced its intention to add services to Montana and the Florida Panhandle. Notably, the Florida Panhandle includes cities like Destin and Fort Walton Beach. The new routes to these tourist-friendly spots are likely to attract additional traffic, particularly in the upcoming summer season.
Shares of ArcBest, Saia and USA Truck have rallied more than 100%, 59% and 26% in the past six months, respectively.
These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
