From Marisa Ricciardi: What better way to ring in a birthday than to celebrate it with millions of viewers worldwide? On June 18, Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) did just that. In honor of the occasion, Chairman, President and CEO Gary Kelly rang the Opening Bell to commemorate the event as well as promote their new presence at LaGuardia Airport. Starting June 28, Southwest will begin service to LaGuardia with eight daily roundtrips flights between Baltimore and Chicago.
Prior to the bell ringing, Gary Kelly and Southwest employees handed out birthday cupcakes and their signature LIFT coffee to traders and NYSE employees. Check out the videos (above, from us, below by Southwest) which highlight their NYSE experience.
