Southwest Airlines Begins Its Houston Return
Southwest Airlines resumed commercial service to Houston Saturday in the wake of flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. That puts Southwest behind United Continental and American Airlines, which started limited service Thursday at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental. Since Aug 24, a day before the storm made landfall in Texas, Southwest has held sprawling, twice-daily emergency meetings. At the Friday morning session, staff discussed the status of aid for storm-affected employees, ferrying crew members to Houston from Dallas and Chicago and ensuring that enough fuel reaches airports even beyond Harvey’s path. “It feels like something we can execute well, and like we have a good shot at being up to full strength next week,” COO Michael Van de Ven said. <br/>
