(Reuters) – Southwest Airlines Co on Thursday raised its second-quarter operating revenue forecast, as strong travel demand puts U.S. carriers on the fast track to a recovery from pandemic lows.
The carrier said it expects current-quarter operating revenue to rise 12% to 15% versus pre-pandemic levels, compared with its earlier forecast of an 8% to 12% rise.
