- Southwest Airlines Co will soon begin flying to Hawaii from California, as part of the budget-friendly carrier’s push to boost leisure travel from the West Coast, an executive said on Friday.
Southwest, already a go-to airline for many travelers within California with over 60-percent market share, has been trying to expand its West Coast leisure portfolio under a growth drive that has also included new flights to Mexico. The Hawaii launch comes later than Southwest had hoped after a partial U.S. government shutdown earlier in the year delayed the certification process needed for new over-ocean flights.
“After that we’ll have the traditional Southwest low fares in the subsequent booking period,” Watterson said.
