Southwest Airlines, which launches flights from Newark Airport in March, has filled out its schedule with 10 more flights. There’ll be three nonstops daily to Denver; two daily flights to Houston‘s Hobby Airport; two nonstops to Phoenix; and three daily nonstops to Baltimore/Washington. Those flights all launch on June 5. Southwest begins its Newark incursion on March 27 with six nonstops to Chicago/Midway and two daily nonstops to St. Louis. Southwest got the necessary slots and gates at Newark as part of Continental and United’s concessions to get their merger approved in 2010.
