More Than a Way to Fly — A Way of Life

More Than a Way to Fly—A Way of Life

At Southwest Airlines, we consider ourselves much more than just a business; we are a neighbor in the community where you live. We champion causes that matter most in the communities we serve by developing relationships with nonprofit organizations on both a local and national level. Read more about our community outreach.

Last year, we received 14,968 donation requests and distributed more than $11.6 million in total contributions to qualified 501(c)(3) charitable organizations within the communities we serve.  Read more about the charitable organizations that fall within our areas of strategic focus.

We extend our company mission into the communities we serve through our citizenship efforts. Whether our Employees are volunteering with a local organization, serving on a nonprofit board, or working hard to develop new efficiencies in our operations, we consider ourselves much more than a business.

Environmental Stewardship is a responsibility Southwest Airlines takes seriously, and efficient operations are the hallmark of our Company and the foundation of our environmental commitment. Our planet sustains us all, so we feel it's our responsibility to protect it. This focus on efficiency not only makes good business sense, it is the right thing to do.
