Transcript
I think this is our final presentation before an amazing box of lunch and I'm sure everybody is excited for. So very happy to welcome Southwest Airlines back to the stage. Obviously, an anchor tenant of this conference for the last couple of decades. We've got Bob Jordan, obviously, the CEO at the end.
Andrew Watterson, thank you for joining us, Chief Commercial Officer. Tom Doxey, certainly no stranger to this event. And where did Daniel -- okay sitting in the front, but I still want people to become more familiar with you since you're also somewhat new to the bench. So Bob, let me turn it over to you for any sort of prepared remarks.
And we'll have a nice healthy chat.
All right, Jamie. Hey, thanks so much. And yes, we're bringing up near the rear here. So that's all right.
But yes, we're no stranger. Thanks for having us. We appreciate it. I like to be here every year.
I've got just a couple of remarks. We don't have a formal presentation. We really want to have a conversation. And I talk to you about what's going on in Southwest I'd give you just a couple of points.
As you know, last year 2025 was the most transformational year in the history of Southwest Airlines, we changed our product. We added different revenue streams, we went into different distribution channels. So a huge year of transformation. It all went very, very well, and I'm very proud to say that we ran a terrific operation at the same time and won the Wall Street Journal #1 airline ranking for 2025.
So very proud of our people and that execution. We're seeing strong proof point that the initiatives are working and that is in 2 categories. Number one, customers are buying the products. They want the new products that we are selling.
And then it is showing up in the revenue performance. So the revenue, we'll talk a lot about that today. You've heard that from the carriers, there's broad-based revenue strength, but we are seeing specific revenue strength in the products, the new initiatives and products that we're selling at Southwest. And I think basically, the headline there is everything that we told you about the initiatives and the program, what they would deliver and everything we told you at fourth quarter earnings in January is fully on track.
Of course, the only wildcard is fuel that faces all of us. And again, we've got no presentation, we've got some questions from Jamie. We want to have a conversation
