Syracuse, New York –Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) and the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) announced today that Southwest will launch seasonal, nonstop service from Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) to Tampa, FL (TPA) in the spring. The world’s largest low-cost carrier will launch this weekly, Saturday-only service on April 30, 2022.

Southwest service to TPA will increase SYR’s existing nonstop service to the Tampa area. Southwest is the world’s largest operator of the Boeing 737 aircraft and intends to fly the full-size jet exclusively on this new nonstop route.

“We are of course thrilled to see Southwest Airlines increase their footprint here at SYR,” said SRAA Executive Director Jason Terreri. “This seasonal service will provide our leisure and business travelers increased options to quickly – and affordably – make the trip from SYR directly to Tampa in a matter of a few hours.”
