Founded in 1967 to be a Texas intrastate airline, Southwest Airlines was initially prevented from operating, and saw long-haul flights from its original Dallas Love Field base restricted by federal law for several decades. Despite these obstacles, Southwest has built a history of innovative business practices, was a major source of inspiration for US airline deregulation and was probably the biggest beneficiary of deregulation, growing to be one of the largest airlines in the United States and one of the largest low-cost carriers worldwide.
