Southwest Airlines Co. has entered an interline agreement with Hahnair to enhance global visibility of Southwest Airlines by providing ticketing access to 100,000 travel agencies in 190 markets outside the United States, effectively extending the consumer distribution reach of Southwest beyond the U.S. marketplace.
Andrew Watterson, Chief Operating Officer said: “This partnership is particularly helpful for people visiting the United States who need to move about the country and now can more effortlessly consider our unmatched domestic network.
“Our partnership with Hahnair allows for the sale of Southwest tickets in geographies where we don’t fly today, in local currencies.”
Alexander Proschka, Chief Commercial Officer of Hahnair said: “Welcoming Southwest Airlines to our leading network of over 350 partner carriers marks a significant milestone for our worldwide network.
“Through this partnership, Hahnair is offering travel agencies around the globe access to Southwest Airlines’ extensive flight offerings, while at the same time delivering an efficient and comprehensive distribution solution to Southwest.”
