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

Filed under: Airlines, News — Rick Seaney @ 9:43 am

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…
