Southwest Airlines' new plane puts the state bird in flight, with a nurturing pelican spreading her feathers over a Boeing 737-700 dedicated to the Bayou State.
Southwest unveiled Louisiana One on Wednesday (March 7) in New Orleans, which in 1979 became the first destination served beyond Southwest's home state of Texas, according to a news release from the company. Louisiana One features an artist's rendition of the state flag, complete with a large mother pelican and her trio of hungry young.
Southwest introduced the plane with a Carnival-inspired event with local musicians at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The airline also released a time-lapse video showing the painting of the plane's design.
The airport's largest carrier, Southwest Airlines continues to expand its offerings in New Orleans, according to Kevin Dolliole, aviation director for Louis Armstrong International.
The airline, which began service with a daily nonstop departure to Houston, now operates more than 50 daily nonstop departures to 21 destinations from New Orleans. This spring, Southwest plans to add three new flights from New Orleans to Sacramento, San Jose and Cancun.
Louisiana One joins 11 other state-themed 737s in the Southwest fleet. Other states represented include Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Texas, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico and Tennessee.
