In an earlier post, I mentioned the Columbus based discount airline Skybus. It was announced today that they are ceasing operations as of 12:01am on April 5, 2008. Sadly they didn't even make it a full year in service. While the concept was great, and it did offer an inexpensive alternative, they just decided they couldn't make it. They cited rising fuel prices and a "slowing economic environment" as their primary reasons for calling it quits.
I only had the opportunity to fly with them on one occasion. From Columbus to Kansas City, and back earlier this year. I thought it was a great experience even in spite of my original doubts.
It's sad to see them go, but I can certainly understand.
