COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - Travelers flying out of Colorado Springs will have more options starting in 2021. Southwest Airlines announced on Thursday they are expanding to Colorado's second-largest city.
"We are thrilled to welcome Southwest Airlines to our community and look forward to the positive economic and cultural impact it will have," Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said.
