Southwest Airlines wins FAA approval for Hawaii service
Southwest Airlines has received FAA approvals needed to conduct Hawaii services and plans to announce specific routes, fares and a launch date “in the coming days,” the airline said Feb 27, setting the stage for a major battle in the popular market. The carrier, which has its teams in place at its new markets, has indicated that its initial Hawaii flights could launch within a few weeks of gaining needed approvals. The Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards approval clears the way for the airline to train personnel and finish preparations for its long-anticipated Hawaii service. It plans to serve Honolulu, Kahului, Kona, and Lihue from Oakland, San Diego, San Jose and Sacramento to start. It also will offer island-to-island flights within Hawaii. <br/>
