Southwest Airlines (LUV+1.99%) is making another change in a year that has already seen so many come. USA Today reports that the airline recently made a change to its policies that will end cabin service and prepare passengers for landing earlier on flights.

In a statement to Quartz, the company said the process, which will stop offering food and drinks 10 minutes early starting Wednesday, is being implemented in the name of safety.

“Southwest Airlines flight attendants will begin preparing the cabin for landing at 18,000 feet beginning December 4,” the company said. “The change in procedures is intended to reduce the risk of in-flight turbulence-related injuries to our crew members and customers. It is the result of the airline’s close collaboration with its labor partners and a robust approach to safety management. Previously, preparations for landing began at 10,000 feet. Nothing is more important to Southwest Airlines than the safety of our customers and employees.”

Neither Southwest Airlines nor the union that represents its flight attendants, Local 513 of the Transport Workers Union, responded to a request for comment from Quartz.
