Southwest Airlines Co. is pushing into two of the largest U.S. airports, signaling its plan to grab market share from bigger rivals hobbled by the coronavirus pandemic.

The moves mean expanding Southwest’s already large footprint in Chicago to take on United Airlines Holdings Inc. and American Airlines Group Inc., and in Houston, to an airport where United dominates.
