A representative with Southwest Airlines released the following statement: We worked with the FAA for a few minutes this afternoon to sequence our inbound flights at Sky Harbor to minimize the chance that any aircraft would be holding out for a gate to open up, or would have a long taxi out for takeoff, ever-mindful of heat in these operating conditions. 9 out of 10 Southwest flights arriving into Phoenix today are on time.
