Southwest Airlines (WN, Dallas Love Field) has outlined its planned new Washington National operations following the acceptance of its bid by US regulators. As reported previously, the Texan LCC won 54 slots at the Washington airport, allowing 27 additional daily flights.

In a press release, Southwest announced it would launch the following new routes out of Washington National with effect from August 10: Chicago Midway, Nashville International, and New Orleans International. Effective November 2: Akron Regional, Dallas Love Field, and Indianapolis International.
