Does Southwest Airlines have fog lights on their aircraft?

Due to the cancellation of several SW Airline flights at Albuquerque Sunport on New Year's weekend due to heavy fog, it was reported on local ABQ TV that SW had had to cancel flights because its aircraft had no fog lights. This seems illogical, but other airlines were landing in the fog. Does information exist on the Internet to support this report?Does Southwest Airlines have fog lights on their aircraft?
I wouldn't put too much credence in what the media reports when it comes to flying. I've never heard of an airplane having 'fog lights'. We generally have two types of forward facing lights; Landing lights and recognition lights. They are both bright white lights ponting forward, the purpuse of the landing lights are to illuminate the runway in front of you as you're landing (Or taxiing), and the purpose of the recognition lights are to make you more visible to other aircraft.

I don't know if you've ever driven in heavy fog, but if you have, you might have noticed that the brighter your headlights are (if you use high beam) the harder it is to see the road ahead of you, the fog throws back most of the light you send ahead, so the more you send ahead, the more you're blinded. There are car lights out there with a yellow beam, which makes it easier to see in fog, but I've never heard or seen this on any airplane. But the landing light and recognition light are very very bright, and tend to make it harder to see in fog, not easier.



Now, as to why Southwest could not fly while others could could be down to the fact that most Airlines will have their own weather minimums they can operate in, or their own procedures as far as how to deal with current and expected weather conditions. It could also be as simple as timing; Southwest's depratures/arrivals were scheduled during a time when the fog was particularly heavy, while the other airlines had their arrivals/departures at times when the fog was lighter.

Or maybe Southwest was having trouble finding enough crew that day to fly all their routes, so they axed the ABQ ones, with the excuse about 'fog lights'. I can't tell you exactly why they couldn't operate that day, but I can, with a high degree of certainty, tell you that it wasn't because their planes do not have 'fog lights'.Does Southwest Airlines have fog lights on their aircraft?
That's strange i know that Southwest 737-800 series (which is a huge part of their fleet) can fly in almost 0 visibility
