Mike Ivey updates us on Madison’s Air Service (and the possible entry of Southwest):

Livingston said Southwest Airlines has expressed some interest in coming into this market but said the low-cost carrier hasn’t committed to anything. Southwest is one of the few airlines that has remained profitable despite the fallout from the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the slow economy and soaring jet fuel prices.
“They aren’t telling us much, only that Madison is one of 350 cities they are looking at,” he said.

Southwest makes a great deal of sense for Madison, both from a cultural and service perspective.
