Skybus 3rd Airline to Shut Down This Week

[rashad546]

Skybus has the beautifull Livery design!

[cuba1902]

I enjoyed flying TAM airlines, they gave free wine and beer on the flight. Oh and they like giving those candies I like so much before each take off.Best of all no luggage cost.

[goodgamejackass]

skybus was shit anyway... Skybus was a company that wasn't going to last long from the getgo...

[TennisChamp59]

Good thing Northwest and Delta are merging. This is exactly what they are trying to avoid.

[pilotnicco]

lol ive never heard of skybus until now.

[simpsonstewie]

less travlers, less cars bought, less everything that uses gasoline bought = surplus in oil= cheap airfare, as soon as i move to austrailia

[jjbrien]

I wonder how many more airlines will go bust? this is a terrible time for the indusrty and the consumer as there will be less choice.

[banstaman]

Actually the fourth, Champion caved it shortly before SkyBus.

[Sidekick4Life]

There not closing yet.

there closing in May.

[banstaman]

But you get how it goes.

[TomaszB007]

Well I have this to say. Some Of you many already know this some don't. The Airline Bussniss is based on the economy. If it goes up Airlines go up with it. IF it falls wich it has been for a while =so do the airlines. Same thing happened in the 80's It was to good to be true that airlines were booming so much. The last time I saw this happen It came down and and fast. But this is just the beginning. Time Will only tell.

Well it is always sad to see an airline go. It is toughest on the employees. ATA and Aloha Air were more established carriers with much more history, But I always liked how unique and different Skybus's approach was compaired to other airlines. They did things that other airlines never tried. But when jet fuel is at $5.50 a gallon, doom is just around the corner. Farewell Skybus....Atleast ya tried. I will hand that to ya.

[stejensen]

skybus had a shit business plan from the start! i knew they wouldnt last

[bsartist]

While Aloha and ATA were established carriers that have been around for awhile, Skybus' -lasted less than a year- operation was a stupid business model in an already over-saturated market doomed to fail from the beginning.

[TomaszB007]

Wow the shit is falling from the sky faster than we can catch it. Which airline is next?

[skybagel76]

It is so sad to see this happening. I hope no more shut down.

[stejensen]

id like to see jetblue go down....wouldnt bother me one bit!

[maxsmodels]

Why, Jetblue is a great airline with lotsa legroom, cool TVs and radio, free food and drinks. They are cheap too. Nice people too. I like them alot better than Skybus.

[GeneralRaddek]

Northwest is next. lol. The CEO is on his way out in June and the company is struggling.

[stejensen]

haha too bad they are in the best financial strength as of right now and is leading in revenue out of all US carriers! get your facts straight before your spit out some words

[hicat1595]

ATA was one of the others... what was the third

[urinemonster]

Aloha Airlines
