Skybus Gone Effective Fri 4th April
Another USA airline gone, but this one had the writing on the wall for quite a while, just hitting all the news outlets as I type!
Last day of operations Friday 4th April 2008. Currently has a fleet of 12 A319, with orders for 63, someone will happily take up these slots from Airbus http://www.news-record.com/apps/pbcs...TAFF/635088472 - The Vice President quit hours before the announcement.... http://www.skybus.com/ http://www.dispatch.com/live/content...4/skybust.html http://news.google.com.au/news?q=sky...=1&sa=N&tab=wn |

After reading about them in last months Avaition Mag, they really seemed something, they had a good business plan, and their livery wasn't too bad, plus they used cost effective airports. Interesting that they had 63 planes on order(due late 2008)
Mabye TT could try and snap up one of these, Skybus's A319s were only about 4 yrs old Lets hope we dont see much of this activity her in Aus

And unfortunately for them, a good livery does not make a profitable airline. I feel for the employees but good ridance Skybus. Scott.

Clearly their business plan wasn't "good" if they're shutting up shop..

The business plan was having a low cost model, in which they decided to follow, but it didn't work for them, they were using a succesfull business model, but it just didn't suit that airline and how it was created.
