Southwest Airlines increased its daily flights at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport by 8 percent from May 2012 to 95 combined departing and arriving flights this month.
Starting in April, the carrier added daily flights between St. Louis and Dallas Love Field, and between St. Louis and Los Angeles International Airport, according to Southwest spokeswoman Michelle Agnew.
Last month, Southwest also reduced flights between St. Louis and Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale and added a new route between St. Louis and San Diego, but the net change was an additional seven flights in April and May.
In March, Southwest added a route to Panama City, Fla., that it had previously discontinued. That month, it also added flights between Lambert and Baltimore, Las Vegas and Chicago Midway.
Southwest, the busiest carrier at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, bought AirTran in May 2011 and Agnew said the airline plans to maintain its AirTran routes at Lambert.
Meanwhile, the carrier plans to cut AirTran routes in Atlanta in the fall as it changes its AirTran hub there into a Southwest hub, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported earlier this month.
Southwest also is cutting 283 jobs in Atlanta from its AirTran staff as it consolidates reservations centers in that city, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
