Southwest
Budget carrier, Dallas-based
Southwest as a proper noun designates the southwestern region of a country, especially the United States—Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and parts of neighboring states.
The American Southwest evokes desert landscapes, Native American culture, and Spanish colonial heritage: We're moving to the Southwest.
Southwest Airlines, often shortened to Southwest, is a major U.S. carrier. (Lowercase southwest is the compass direction.)
