Kalaeloa - potential to alleviate HNL crunch?
#1
A few days ago, I was on an aviation web-site and was drawn to this rather long but well-written post from someone who obviously has a background in the airline business, etc.

The subject matter was how Southwest Airlines (SWA) could best serve Hawaii, especially underserved routes and underserved airports.

The person was strongly encouraging the utilization for Kalaeloa Airport (formerly Barbers Point) as a viable alternative to HNL, particularly for inter-island flights. The post went on to point out that HNL was nearing full capacity, and that it would be a smart move for SWA to target Kalaeloa Airport for future growth, possibly long-haul flights to the mainland.

That being said, would Puna residents consider flying SWA into (or through) Kalaeloa if it meant avoiding HNL? I understand that mainland flights to/from ITO is the ideal scenario, but perhaps that's for another thread.
