Southwest Airlines said it is pulling out of at least four major airports in the United States and Mexico and cutting around 2,000 jobs after problems with profitability and plane delivery delays from Boeing.

""Our first quarter 2024 revenue performance, while shy of our prior aspirations, resulted in record first quarter operating revenues, record first quarter passengers carried, and a solid sequential improvement in nominal unit revenue when compared with seasonal norms," the Dallas, Texas-based company said.
