Las Vegas Overtakes Denver as Southwest Airlines' Busiest Airport
For the first time in a decade, Southwest Airlines has a new busiest airport based on scheduled seat capacity. Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) has surpassed Denver International Airport (DEN), which held the top spot for ten years. For May 2024, Southwest has scheduled over 770,000 seats from Las Vegas, slightly edging out Denver's offering. This strategic shift in operations reflects the airline's network adjustments and evolving passenger demand. While Denver remains a critical hub, the growth in Las Vegas highlights its increasing importance in Southwest's network.
