Skybus Airlines, going to that great bus in the sky

Skybus airlines, not even one year old, gave up the ghost / turned in the timesheet / bought a one-way ticket to the great bus in the sky on Friday. All flights for Saturday and after? Gone. If you’ve got complaints about Skybus, post them here (and if you have praise for that airline, you can share that here).

This is what the announcement on skybus.com read:

Skybus struggled to overcome the combination of rising jet fuel costs and a slowing economic environment. These two issues proved to be insurmountable for a new carrier.

We deeply regret the impact this decision will have on our employees and their families, customers, vendors, suppliers, airport officials and others in the cities in which we have operated. Our financial condition is such that our Board of Directors felt it had no choice but to cease operations.

Passengers holding reservations for Skybus flights scheduled to depart on or after Saturday, April 5, 2008 should contact their credit card companies to arrange to apply for a refund. More information for customers and others will be made available on the Skybus web site (www.skybus.com) as it becomes available.

All flights for Friday, April 4 will be completed. Passengers holding reservations on flights for Friday, April 4 should check in for their flight at a Skybus kiosk at the airport instead of the Skybus website.
