Is Southwest Airlines Headed To Hawaii?

Beat of Hawaii is reporting that Southwest Airlines may be opening routes to Hawaii soon. For the first time, Southwest Airlines is sponsoring the Hawaii Global Tourism Summit which opened today. Southwest is scheduled to speak tomorrow on Wednesday September 20th so we could hear some news.
Beat of Hawaii says another clue is that Southwest added dozens of flights in California airports last month which could signal that they are taking on Alaska Airlines on their own turf. Alaska services Hawaii as well. The cities with added flights are San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento and Oakland.
In addition, Beat of Hawaii says Southwest is about to take delivery of 14 Hawaii capable aircraft. Plus Southwest pilots have just settled a four year dispute that paves the way for them to fly to Hawaii.
Stay tuned. If it's true, flights could start in Spring 2018. Woohoo!
