Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan reported that the airline is significantly affected by tariffs and declining consumer confidence, leading to a reduction in travel spending. Despite strong first-quarter earnings, the airline has pulled its full-year guidance, indicating a drop in demand expectations. To manage profitability, Southwest plans to cut capacity growth and implement new revenue-generating strategies, including bag fees and new fare options, aiming for substantial financial contributions in the coming years.
