Southwest Airlines Exposes New Boeing Risk in Annual Report

Global Airlines Reassessing Exposure to Boeing Despite Loyalty of Southwest Airlines

Global airlines are reevaluating their reliance on Boeing amid growing concerns in the industry. Even Southwest Airlines, one of Boeing’s most loyal customers, is closely examining the risks involved. In a small adjustment to its 10-K annual report filed recently, Southwest highlighted its dependency on Boeing as the sole manufacturer of its aircraft. However, it made a significant change in the wording compared to its previous annual filing, stressing the potential impact if the MAX aircraft were to become unavailable or if there were prolonged delivery delays.
