Southwest's discounted airfares are expected to significantly lower ticket prices for the entire Hawaiian air travel market.

"What we found is that a likely 10%+ capacity addition on North American routes at introductory fares from a low-cost carrier may lead to fares that are 30%+ lower versus today," Morgan Stanley analyst Rajeev Lalwani said in a note last month.
