Today, we’ve flown as many as 200 million customers per year to more than 300 cities around the world. As we grew from a small regional carrier into one of the world’s largest airlines, our fundamental values have never changed: A commitment to serving our customers, our people and our communities that underscores every decision we make. Our mission is to connect the world and strive to have a positive impact on people’s lives.
