How Southwest Airlines makes money

Period
FY2025

How does Southwest Airlines make money? This Sankey traces every dollar of revenue through the income statement — into cost of revenue, R&D, SG&A, and taxes — and shows what's left as profit. Pick any fiscal year, recent quarter, or the trailing twelve months. Straight from SEC filings.

Southwest Airlines Company · FY2025 · year ended 2025-12-31

Each fiscal year from SEC filings. Percentages are share of revenue, so the green profit nodes read directly as gross / operating / net margin. Line items a company doesn't break out are derived from their siblings so the flows balance; small residuals show as “Other.” For informational purposes only.
