Southwest Airlines' Chief Financial Officer stated that travel demand in September exceeded market expectations. The company's seat selection service and seat-related businesses with increased legroom are projected to generate over $1 billion in EBIT in 2026, and this figure is expected to reach approximately $1.5 billion by 2027. The steady increase in revenue from these value-added services demonstrates that airlines are exploring new profit growth points beyond their core passenger business by tapping into differentiated passenger travel needs, which plays a positive role in optimizing the overall revenue structure and enhancing profitability of airlines.
