SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO CEO Bob Jordan said the carrier maintained demand despite seven fare increases implemented since February. The pricing power in the United States comes as airlines face rising jet fuel costs and pressure from activist investors. Investors are monitoring whether Southwest's shift toward premium services and international routes can restore pre-pandemic profit margins.
