Re: Aloha Air files bankruptcy, again
An interesting blog on why Southwest won't be entering the Hawaii market any time soon.
I don't think we will see any new entrants for the near future. Hawaii is primarily a leisure market which means thin profit margins. And with the current economy and costs plus all the bad news coming out of Hawaii, any new player will most certainly think twice. If anything, we'll probably see the traditional imcumbents (UA, AA, NW, CO, DL) add a flight here and there where warranted to pick up the slack. We are seeing HA do it.
