Jul. 15--Southwest Airlines is on the move again in its favorite new city, poised today to announce 13 more daily flights from Philadelphia International Airport.

Southwest's rapid buildup means that by the end of the year the discount airline will likely be the airport's second largest carrier in passengers, trailing only US Airways while surpassing American, Delta and United Airlines.

Southwest's new service includes nonstop flights starting Oct. 31 to three cities it doesn't serve now from Philadelphia: Oakland, Calif., Bradley Airport near Hartford, Conn., and Jacksonville, Fla., according to airline industry officials who asked not to be identified.

SWA is really going to b putting pressure on US yields now. I believe that SWA has entered a lot of US high yield markets out of PHL, so this should have a very negative effect on US bottom line in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Just my thoughts.....

When does SWA expect to start construction on the 4 new gates?
