Another TWO Bite the Dust: Say Goodbye to Skyway and Champion

April 7, 2008 | Posted in: Airlines, News

Skyway Airlines ceased operations over the weekend, with a lot less fanfare than the demise of Skybus.

Skyway, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based commuter airline, was a subsidiary of Midwest Airlines, until Sunday anyway.

Also shutting down: the Bloomington, Minnesota-based Champion Air, a charter that’s flown tourists, sports teams and the military (it will cease operations on May 31st).

First Aloha, then ATA, then Skybus…and now these two: 5 airlines shutting down in about a week. It’s the understatement of the year to say a pattern is developing…

  1. Next I think we’ll start to see airlines retreating to safer ground. So while there may not be a bunch more BK’s, I think we’ll still see markets changing quite profounding throughout the year. Jeff
