Skybus Airlines, a low-fare start-up carrier, shut down over the weekend, becoming the third U.S. airline in a week to cease operations in an industry being pummeled by high fuel prices and the weak economy.
Closely held Skybus, based in Columbus, Ohio, has 11 leased Airbus jetliners and operated 74 daily flights to 15 U.S. cities. The company quit flying Saturday with little warning after completing its Friday flights.
