Southwest CE: "Thumbs up'' from FAA on Hawaii test flights, awaiting final "report card''
Southwest Airlines received a "thumbs up'' from the FAA on its Hawaii test flights and is now awaiting formal approval, CE Gary Kelly told employees Monday. Southwest did not release any details on the timing of ticket sales, when the flights will begin or where it will launch the first flights but Kelly said the airline will as soon as it receives its final "report card'' from the FAA. Kelly has previously said Southwest would start selling tickets within days of receiving FAA certification for long overwater flights, with the first flights within weeks of that. Southwest initially dangled the prospect of flights beginning in late 2018 but that date slipped as the year went on. <br/>
