Activist investor buys $1.9 billion stake in Dallas-based Southwest Airlines
SUMMARY: An activist investor group, including Elliot Investment Management, has acquired a nearly $2 billion stake in Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, urging significant leadership changes. The investors believe poor management has hampered Southwest's post-pandemic profitability and are calling for the replacement of CEO Bob Jordan and Executive Chairman Gary Kelly. Elliot criticized the airline's outdated operations, citing the December 2022 cancellation crisis as a failure example. Although Southwest reported a $231 million loss in Q1, the airline expressed confidence in its leadership but remains open to investor dialogues. Despite these developments, no immediate impact on the summer travel season is expected.
On Monday, Elliott Investment Management bought an 11% stake in the company for $1.9 billion. In a letter to the company board, Elliott called on the airline to make leadership changes and replace CEO Bob Jordan and executive chairman Gary Kelly.
