Southwest Airlines to Resume San Diego – Hawaii Service on November 4, 2020

Southwest Airlines will begin flying to Hawaii from a fourth city in California next spring, the airline announced.

Flights between San Diego and Kahului start on April 14, 2020, and San Diego and Honolulu flights will begin April 20, 2020.

More than a year after starting its Hawaii service in March, Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) will finally meet its original stated Hawaiian goal of flying from each of its four California gateways. 

Southwest currently flies to Hawaii from both Oakland and San Jose. The Dallas-based airline will begin flying out of Sacramento November 10.

Southwest Chief Executive Gary Kelly has also stated that Las Vegas is a possible Hawaii gateway, but the airline’s expansion has been slowed down by the grounding of its 737 Max fleet.

Hawaii flights have been operating above company expectations. Southwest is keen on keeping its existing market share and capturing more, which is why Hawaii flights were excluded from a recent system fare increase.
