Southwest Airlines has added the Louisiana One logo jet to its fleet to celebrate 39 years of service to New Orleans. The jet wears an artist’s rendering of the Louisiana State flag, and was rolled out earlier this month on march 7th. The aircraft was unveiled at a special event at the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport.
Southwest started flights to New Orleans in 1979, and was the airline’s first destination outside of its home state of Texas. The Mardi Gras styled celebration event at the airport included musicians, state and local government officials, community members, and Southwest Airlines employees. Southwest now operates more than 50 daily nonstop flights to 21 destinations from New Orleans.
The Louisiana One is part of a 12 state logo jet fleet of boeing 737’s in the Southwest fleet. It joins the Arizona One, California One, Colorado One, Florida One, Illinois One, Lone Star State One (Texas), Maryland One, Missouri One, Nevada One, New Mexico One and Tennessee One.
