Southwest Airlines

Transcript: Founded in 1971 by Rollin King and Herb Kelleher The third-largest airline in the United States The United States’ most successful low-fare, high frequency, point-to-point carrier. Known as a “discount airline” since 1973 - offers low fares - no-frills service - basis for Southwest's popularity and rapid growth Introduction to the Issues Integrated Strategy Southwest's Current Strategy Southwest Airlines was once the leaders in low operating cost expenses and cost efficiency. However Southwest has lost some of its cost advantage in recent years. In 1995, Southwest Airline’s total operating expense was 19.28% lower than the industry, but in 2009, and the first quarter of 2010 the number drop to 15.4% and 13.81%. Furthermore, over the last years Southwest had consistently overpaying for pilot, employees, fuel and oil, and landing fees. Statistics show that in 2009, Southwest pays 48.76% more on pilot wages, 16% more on employee salaries, and 21.48% on landing fee compare to the industry average. The number for Q1 2010 is 48.1%, 14.32%, 23.29% and 52.08% respectively. As Southwest continues to sustain its title of low cost leader in the airline industry, they will need to keep their operating costs lower than rivals in the industry and use the integration of Airtran to reduce costs. SW has to better integrate the employees and culture of Airtran with its own. There are a number of things SW can do to integrate the employees in the two firms; it can have Airtran executives appointed to SW executive positions, it can fill vacant SW positions with airtran employees to avoid large layoffs and SW executives can meet and welcome airtran employees in Airtran facilities. Financial Analysis Our last issue was would the integration between to the two airlines to reduce the cost of operations. Price competitive Cut cost to survive Rising fuel prices Customer service oriented Organizational Issue Low fares Fun and “LUV” culture Dedicated employees Strong management Point-to-point scheduling Low cost operation Southwest Airlines Air strips started as grassy fields, now they are sophisticated tar macks with lights, signals, and gang ways. Southwest Airlines is a major US airline, which specializes in low cost, short haul, high frequency service. The company is the leader in this industry and its performance compared to other major airlines has been outstanding. Southwest has to address the following issue to remain competitive: lower operation cost, integrate AirTrans Airline into the Southwest culture, and using the integration of AirTrans to save cost and improve operation. The business issue Southwest needs to address is how to integrate AirTrans’ operations into Southwest’ s and achieve cost-savings in the process making it competitive with rivals. Southwest Airlines Overview Business Issue Southwest airlines’ rivals have been slashing costs in order to survive, particularly in the areas of pilot salaries and employee salaries. Southwest, which once had lower labour costs now finds itself confronted with higher labour costs (its employees have more longevity—and thus higher salaries—whereas many employees at rival airlines are relatively new and have not yet gotten in-grade pay raises to the extent as has occurred at Southwest). In September 2010, Southwest airlines announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire low cost, low fare provider airline AirTran. AirTran currently has 8,033 employees who will need to be successfully integrated into the Southwest culture. In addressing the financial issue of how to lower operational costs, Southwest should keep employee salaries marginally higher than the industry average to maintain exceptional customer service levels, but not so high as to jeopardize profit margins. As employees buy into the cost cutting mentality, they will understand the need to even out salaries across the industry in order to keep jobs. Financial Issue Overview of Airline Industry

Transcript: Southwest Airlines According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index Report from 2011, Southwest scored an 81 out of 100 putting them at the top of the list. According to Airline Quality Rating, Southwest ranked 5th ovverall in 2010. Southwest has not laid anyone off or cut any flights since September 11th. Where Southwest flies to Southwest Airlines Stocks (LUV) How they fly The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 is a United States Federal Law that removes government control over fairs and routes. This promoted competition in the airline industry. One of the goals of the Act was to encourage the use of secondary airports in metropolitan areas. Southwest saw this as an opportunity to provide service outside of Texas. The Wright Amendment of 1979 was put in place by Texas Congressman Jim Wright to restrict passenger air traffic out of Love Field. This was to protect DFW International Airport. Southwest uses Love Field. Southwest maneuvered around this by increasing service to non effected airports. Finances In 1995, Southwest became one of the first airlines to have a website. It was called Iflyswa.com On October 13, 2006 a bill was signed by President Bush that ended the Wright Amendment. Non-stop flights from Love Field are restricted until 2014 On May 2, 2011, Southwest bought AirTran for $1.4 Billion. This allowed for Southwest to add 15 destinations including Atlanta. Shane, Jonathan, and Ericka After selling one of their airplanes to stay in business they learned that they could keep up with demand by using the 10 minute turn around method, which is still implemented today. Today they have increased it to a 25 minute turn around. Their fleet includes only variations of the Boeing 737 to reduce costs for maintenance. After their purchase of AirTran they now have several Boeing 717s Early Years They are putting motions in place to go international. Their goals are to add flights to Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean. Deals made put the timeline for international flights in 2014. They will start in Texas. They purchased 150 Boeing 737 Max 8 airlines to be put in service in 2017. They are a step toward the new green image the company is creating. By 2013 they wish to reduce each plane by 835lbs to create a more fuel efficient fleet. (Changing carpet and evolving the seats) Present Day What makes Southwest different?
