The Texas state bird
Southwest Airlines is a major carrier based in Texas, and has made a strategy of cutting fares drastically on certain routes with large effects on air traffic in those markets. For example on the Burbank-Oakland route the entry of Southwest into the market caused average fares to fall by 48 per cent and increased market revenue from $21,327,008 to $47,064,782 annually. On the Kansas City-St Louis route, however, the average fare cut in the market when South west entered was 70 per cent and market revenue fell from an annual $66,201,553 to $33,101,514.
