Skybus: The airline that wanted to charge you for EVERYTHING | History in the Dark

Описание: What if one were to create an airline with ridiculously cheap tickets but also make the customer pay for every other thing on top of it that other airlines provide for free? Well, Skybus Airlines did that. It didn't go well.

"Skybus Airlines Inc. was a privately held airline based in Columbus, Ohio, United States. It operated as an ultra low-cost carrier modeled after the European airline Ryanair, and aimed to be the least expensive airline in the United States. The business model was heavily reliant on flying routes where other airlines did not have direct flights, as Ryanair did in Europe, thus keeping competition to a minimum, and on flying into secondary airports, rather than heavily trafficked ones."
