Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) has released the details of its initial flight schedule from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Starting from 20 September 2005 it will support two daily roundtrip flights between Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and Houston's Hobby Airport. Seats on these two flights are available for sale through to the end of Southwest's current schedule (9 January 2006).

Southwest has said that, once the airline had all of its New Orleans-based employees accounted for, it started working with airport and government officials on how and when it would be able to return service.

The airline additionally wants to remind travellers to New Orleans that ground transportation is limited and curfew restrictions may be in place throughout Jefferson Parish and the City of New Orleans, as well as the surrounding area. All transportation, hotel and/or other arrangements need to be confirmed before departure.
