Skybus is bankrupt. The airline company based primarily out of Columbus, Ohio has gone into the red due to rising gas prices and inability to compete with the struggling economy. Known for their $10 seats, the airline started in May of 2007 only to finish operations on April 5th, 2008.

If you have purchased a plane ticket through Skybus, there are steps to follow. First, you must call your credit card company and dispute the charge. Then, with most credit card companies, they will send you information for you to sign and you will receive a refund. Skybus tickets past April 5, 2008 will not be honored and you must find another airline.
