Southwest Airlines plans to limit hiring and suspend operations at four airports in the U.S. and Mexico following a loss of profits and delays getting planes from Boeing, reports USA TODAY.

The Dallas-based airline reported a net loss of $231 million in the first quarter of 2024. Southwest President and CEO Bob Jordan called those losses “disappointing,” and said the airline is adjusting to “slower than planned growth for this year and next.”

According to USA TODAY, the airline now expects to end this year with approximately 2,000 fewer employees than 2023 through cost control initiatives, including limiting hiring and offering voluntary time off programs, not through furloughs or layoffs.
