Southwest Airlines to Ship Cargo to International Destinations

: Feb 21, 2018 - : 2:34 am

Southwest Airlines will ship cargo to select international destinations from May this year, subject to government approvals.

To begin with, Southwest Airlines Cargo expects to serve Mexico City, Cancun, Cabo San Lucas/Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta. More international destinations are likely to be introduced this year itself.

“By offering the cross-border services that our customers are looking for, we’re able to help meet the needs of businesses throughout the United States and, soon, in Mexico,” said Matt Buckley, Southwest Airlines’ Vice President of Cargo and Charters. “As we enter the international cargo market for the first time, customers will have more opportunities to experience the friendly and reliable service for which our Cargo Team is known.”

The new international shipping options are made possible in part due to the rollout of the carrier’s new point-of-sale and back office accounting system, Southwest Cargo Suite (SCS). SCS is expected to be introduced next month. It gives customers the ability to make advanced cargo bookings, and utilize electronic air waybills.
