In a regulatory filing, the company stated, “Southwest (LUV) Airlines Co. updated its expectations for full year 2025 earnings before interest and taxes, excluding special items. As a result of lower revenue due to the government shutdown, and the impact of higher fuel prices, the company now expects its full year 2025 EBIT to be approximately $500 million, compared with its prior expectation of $600 million to $800 million. Following the temporary decline in demand related to the shutdown, bookings have returned to previous expectations.”
