Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) today celebrates more than 30 years of service in the state of Tennessee with the unveiling of the airline's newest specialty aircraft—Tennessee One—a Boeing 737-700, emblazoned with an artist's rendition of the Tennessee State flag.
In true Music City fashion, Southwest honored Nashville Employees and Customers with live music performances by Republic Nashville Recording Artist, A Thousand Horses, and Columbia Recording Artist, Maren Morris, celebrating with community members, partners, and state and local government officials.
"Southwest has been in love with the state of Tennessee for 30 years," said Gary Kelly, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Southwest Airlines. "What better way to pronounce our ongoing affection than by honoring the state with Tennessee One—our version of a love song dedicated to our Customers and Employees, who have been so good to Southwest all these years. This one is for YOU!"
Southwest continued the celebration, boarding Tennessee One with Employees, Customers, and community members to take flight from Nashville to Memphis, Tenn. During the flight, the beat continued as guests were entertained with a surprise Live at 35® inflight performance by Tennessee native and RCA Records Nashville Recording Artist, Chris Young, along with Republic Nashville Recording Artist, Cassadee Pope. The pair, who have been on the road for Young's I'm Comin' Over Tour, treated Customers to an acoustic version of their duet, "Think Of You." The flight arrived to Memphis with a water arch salute and a fanfare welcome by Memphis Employees, airport leadership, community members, and local and state officials, with a special performance by Memphis favorite, Ghost Town Blues Band.
"When we began serving Memphis in 2013, we ushered in a new era of low-cost air travel," said Trevor Stedke, Vice President Technical Services of Southwest Airlines. "This approach to air travel has helped us flourish but we would not be here without the support of our Tennessee Customers and Employees. We're proud to honor them with this dedicated aircraft."
