General manager Craig Blackwell said they’ve seen a 50% drop in business compared to this time last year.
“We're pretty much at a 100% cancellation rate because the customers aren't here to actually rent the cars, so it’s impacted us at least 50% year-over-year occupancy” Blackwell said.
Southwest previously announced they expect to resume normal operations on Friday, Dec. 29.
