At an air travel conference in Colombia hosted by Routes last week, Ryan Green, chief commercial officer at Southwest said the carrier will add overnight flights from Las Vegas and Hawaii. Those details, he and the carrier hope, will be worked out in the next two years, he said.“We have the aircraft, it’s a great way to use an asset that you already have and use it more productively which means more hours in the day.
