> And in fact European airlines have a much slower turnaround time than Southwest

Comparing apples to apples, Ryanair (low cost, optimised to hell, 737 only, 3rd in the world by amount of passengers carried in front of Southwest in 4th for 2022) has a turnaround time of around 25 minutes, meanwhile Southwest's is around 35 minutes (official figures of what the airline says for both).



Ryanair got there by emulating American operators! https://simpleflying.com/how-southwest-inspired-the-ryanair-...


Ryan air will speed that up by just not deplaning passengers and flying back with the same load.
