WN Considering Moving Headquarters

[FlyingPhotog]

So how long until we know the outcome of this?

It may be years. Last night the CEO was asked about it and he said "several cities have shown interest." He said PHX has been very good to Southwest and they want to make a presentation and wouldn't take no for an answer so he's honoring their request to hear the presentation. That's really it. What everyone wants most (and expects) is for the Wright Amendment to be repealed and WN won't have to worry about moving.

Then there's other ways to "move the headquarters" like if WN moved their plane registrations to PHX but keeps the corporate office in DAL.

To Add what Paul said, PHX is now going to possibly make a bid to Southwest Airlines.

What would happen to Sun County if WN came in? Is there even enough room for a WN operation? (Like around 4-6 gates?)

The HHH terminal at MSP has 10 gates I belive, and usually only 3-4 are occupied throughout the day. Sun Country, Midwest Express, and Champion are the only airlines who use it.
