CNN: Skybus shuts down operations
Just heard on CNN. High fuel cost did it in. So ATA and now Skybus gets shut down.

Skybus was cheap, and it showed.

Re: CNN: Skybus shuts down operations
Fuel and a questionable business model were equally responsible I would guess.

Re: CNN: Skybus shuts down operations
Frankly, this sucks, especially for those of us in and around Columbus. Skybus was a nightmare to fly, but it was at least affordable.

I am particularly disappointed to see Skybus fail. Most of my air travel is to Columbus and I was hoping they would expand their low-priced service to Texas eventually.

It was a nice try. Good idea.

Re: CNN: Skybus shuts down operations
Won't be long before flying will go back to only being available to the very wealthy, it's the only way airlines will be able to survive.
