LAS VEGAS -- Southwest Airlines, the busiest commercial passenger carrier at McCarran International Airport, will add five new daily round-trip flights to Las Vegas beginning in June.

The Dallas-based company will add two round trips to Chicago's Midway Airport for a total of nine daily and one each to Baltimore for a total of three daily, San Jose for a total of seven and Oakland for a total of 11.

The company will acquire two new twin-engine Boeing 737 jets to accommodate the new service and will begin flights June 13.

In addition to new Southwest service to Philadelphia beginning May 9, the airline will have 186 daily flights when the expansion is completed, according to McCarran statistics.

Separately, Southwest announced an expansion of its soon-to-begin Philadelphia service, from 14 to 28 daily operations beginning July 6. Las Vegas, which will get one daily nonstop round trip to Philadelphia when service is inaugurated in May, won't get any additional flights in the expansion.
