Sad Trend: Now, Skybus is Gone

Filed under: Airlines, News — Rick Seaney @ 6:15 am

As of today (Saturday), Skybus is ceasing operations. No more flights.

This is the third carrier in a week to go under: the first was Aloha Airlines, then ATA, and now Skybus. Kind of makes you wonder who’s next?

If you have tickets, check the Skybus website; unfortunately it simply tells you to try and work something out with your credit card company (and we have information on how to do that in our ATA post).

The shut down occurred for the usual reasons: “the combination of rising jet fuel costs and a slowing economic environment.” This is sad news indeed. And I know a lot of people are going to miss Skybus’ $10 airfares.
