Skybus Airlines announced plans to add a new service from Columbus to the Philadelphia area (Wilmington), beginning 07-Mar-08, and to Toronto (Niagara Falls), beginning 01-Apr-08. Skybus will also add second daily service to Richmond and Hartford (Westover Metropolitan Airport in Chicopee), beginning 07-Mar-08, and to Milwaukee, beginning 01-Apr-08.

 

At the same time, Skybus announced it would commence service to Gary/Chicago International Airport and to Philadelphia, along with a second daily service to Ft Lauderdale, from its base at Piedmont Triad International Airport in North Carolina beginning 13-Mar-08. 

“We’re excited to add Philadelphia, Toronto and Chicago to our list of great destinations,” said Bill Diffenderffer, Skybus CEO. 

With the new routes, Skybus will be serving 18 cities.

In keeping with its strategy of using only highly-efficient airports, Skybus’ new service will operate from:

•    Niagara Falls International Airport, convenient to the attractions of the Niagara Frontier and 85 miles from downtown Toronto.
•    Gary/Chicago International Airport, located 25 miles from downtown Chicago. 


Skybus’ pricing structure is designed to offer passengers the lowest fares available, and then allow them to choose as many or as few add-ons as they like. Passengers have the option to check baggage, obtain priority boarding, and purchase a wide range of food and beverages and gift items on board their flight.
