According to Business Insider, Southwest Airlines is trying to stay afloat during the pandemic by adjusting their routes. They recently announced that they will serve nine new leisure routes to cities across the country, with a focus on Florida, Colorado, and California. The sharp drop in business customers has forced Southwest to serve airports it has historically avoided and operate seasonal services, to places like Miami; Palm Springs, California; and Montrose, Colorado, just in time for ski season. Palm Springs is also a popular destination for social distancing. Alaska Airlines has also recently added new routes to the desert location as well. The country largest low-cost airline will also expand their service in Chicago and Houston. The airline recently asked employees to take a pay cut to avoid furloughs, for the first time in their near 50-year history.
