Southwest: Galileo Deal No Threat to Swabiz

Southwest Airlines does not expect momentum for its Swabiz corporate booking portal to diminish despite a new distribution deal with Galileo that would allow bookings through many more travel agency and corporate traveler points of sale. Introduced at the beginning of the decade, Swabiz is popular with both users and non-users of the Sabre global distribution system, heretofore the only global distribution system with which Southwest had a participation agreement.
