Southwest has set the bar high for customer satisfaction, earning the
DOT's best ranking among Marketing Carriers for 27 of the past 30 years
Source: Department of Transportation (DOT) Air Travel Consumer Report (ATCR). The DOT ranks all U.S. carriers based on the lowest ratio complaints per 100,000 passengers enplaned.
Note: Southwest earned the best Customer Satisfaction ranking among U.S. Marketing Carriers with the lowest ratio of complaints to the DOT per 100,000 enplaned passengers for 2018,
2019, and 2020. A Marketing Carrier is an airline that advertises under a common brand name, sells reservations, manages frequent flyer programs, and is ultimately responsible for the
airline's consumer policies. Operating Carriers only handle the flight operations, passenger check-in/boarding, and baggage handling for the respective Marketing Carriers they serve-
Operating Carriers are not responsible for DOT complaints related to policies, procedures, and advertising associated with the Marketing Carrier's brand.
