Southwest Airlines to Upgrade Interiors

Philadelphia's second busiest airline, Southwest, will give its aircraft interiors a cosmetic and environmental makeover.

The cabin updates include recyclable carpet, a brighter color-scheme and a more durable, eco-friendly, and comfortable low-profile seat that weighs less than the current seat. The new interior also boosts the number of seats onboard from 137 to 143 while increasing under-seat room for carryon luggage.

"We are preparing now for our next 40 years with a fleet modernization plan that includes the new interior, the Boeing 737-800 which is scheduled to come online beginning in March this year, and the 737 MAX, which is expected to join the Southwest fleet in 2017," said Bob Jordan, Southwest's (NYSE:LUV) chief commercial officer, in a statement. "The evolutionary changes we’re making with the new interior uphold our low-cost roots and historic focus on customer service. The cabin upgrade also allows us to create significant revenue opportunities without adding unwanted fees."
