Oklahoma City. “We have seen the majority of service we lost due to the pandemic return, and as airlines continue to rebuild traffic at key locations, we expect other service to return in the next year.” As an example, OKC is expected to add service next year to Philadelphia, a route that was suspended due to the pandemic. Also expected next year is a return to service via Southwest to Dallas Love, along with expanded service to Chicago and Nashville. New service added in the last year includes additional frequency/ additional flights nonstop to Seattle and Atlanta, and the return of nonstop international service with a weekly flight to Cancun set to launch in November. The announcements for next year also include the discontinuation of nonstop service to St. Louis and San Antonio by Southwest. “It is clear that Southwest is making significant changes in their overall operations with stronger focus on Chicago, Dallas, and Nashville as connecting cities,” explains Mulder. “We will continue to work with them on how these changes will impact our market.
