What happened

At 07:00 UTC on 3 November 2026, SWA2660, a Boeing 737-700 registered N457WN operated by Southwest Airlines, began transmitting transponder code 7600, lost communications (nordo), near Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) at FL269.

The code stayed up for about 0 minutes; we last saw it at 07:00 UTC, by which time the aircraft was at FL255. The map shows the path flown around the event, colored from live ADS-B positions.

A squawk code is set by the crew on the transponder. 7600 means radio failure: the aircraft has lost two-way communication with air traffic control and is following standard procedures. Nothing here is confirmed by the operator or an investigating authority; it is what the aircraft broadcast.
