Hawaii is a tough market because it's almost exclusively a vacation
market, so there aren't a lot of high-fare tickets (last-minute,
business class, first class, etc.).
This is good news for the other carriers to Hawaii, as they'll be able
to raise prices on coach fares now that two low-fare airlines are gone.
Too bad Southwest isn't interested in flying to Hawaii, but they don't
want to have different aircraft types, and to fly over water for that
long they'd need to aircraft with life rafts, and probably other
modifications as well. |
