Skybus Cancellations Not a Fantastic Voyage for Customers

Skybus customers hoping to get to the West Si-ide of the country in the coming months got a rude awakening via email this week.

As reported in the Columbus Dispatch, Skybus, Columbus' new discounted airline, has cancelled routes going to San Diego, CA and Bellingham, WA. It has also cut one of the daily routes to Burbank, CA, leaving customer holding refunds and little else.

Understandably customers are upset, especially those who got a sweet deal with those $10 fares Skybus offers. It appears that Skybus is taking feeling its way around seeing which routes are the successful, profitable ones a good sign given the state of the airline industry. An airline that is making smart business decisions as opposed to putting all their money together in a pile and burning it? Better call and check the temps in Hades folks!

Too bad customers had to get shafted on that one. What's in Bellingham, Washington anyway?
