Skift Take
It's a significant step since the launch of Southwest Business last year, designed to tap into the travel management community. Before the crisis, roughly a third of the airline’s traffic was corporate travel. This move could help it boost that market share.
Southwest Airlines has flipped the switch on Travelport’s Apollo and Worldspan global distribution systems.
