Later this summer, the carrier intends to begin shipping between the US and Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas/Los Cabos, later adding further shipping destinations from within its existing international network.
"Our Teams have been hard at work getting ready for this historic milestone, and now we're set to take our award-winning cargo services to places we've never been able to reach before," said Matt Buckley, Southwest's Vice President of Cargo and Charters. "We can't wait to begin working with our customers on both sides of the border and play a small role to help businesses grow."
"We applaud Southwest Airlines' decision to expand cargo operations between Mexico City and Houston Hobby airport. This move takes advantage of Houston's growing logistics expertise and adds strength to the Houston economy," said Houston Airport System Director Mario Diaz.
