Dallas-based Southwest lost $16 million in the third quarter, or 2 cents per share. Not counting special items it would have shown a $23 million profit, or 3 cents per share, a penny ahead of the expectations of analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters.
During the same period last year Southwest lost $120 million.
Traffic rose 4.7 percent for the quarter. Even with more customers, Southwest trimmed unprofitable routes and capacity dropped 5.8 percent for the quarter. It can be hard to cut costs as fast as flying, though, and Southwest's unit costs -- the expense in flying one person one mile -- rose 6.6 percent from a year ago, not counting fuel. Southwest said its unit costs will keep rising as it cuts fourth-quarter capacity by 8 percent.

The airline reported that about 17 percent of its passengers paid the full fare instead of discounted fares, down from 24 percent during the same period last year.
