The Southwest Airlines board is facing a major overhaul after a meeting was held between the carrier and the activist investor Elliott Investment Management in New York.  

The two sides met on September 9, 2024, after Southwest invited the hedge-fund to “participate in refreshment efforts and other corporate governance changes”. 

Elliott has criticized the running of Southwest since the summer, including a call for the resignation of CEO Robert Jordan, and has built a 10% stake since investing almost $2 billon in the airline in June 2024.
