Headquarters

Bern, Switzerland

SkyWork Airlines was a Swiss regional carrier headquartered in Bern, Switzerland. Founded in 2003, the airline operated scheduled and charter flights from Bern Airport, serving a range of European leisure and city destinations. The airline positioned itself as a key operator at Bern Belp Airport, one of Switzerland's smaller regional airports, and played an important role in maintaining international connectivity from the Swiss capital. It operated a modest fleet of turboprop and regional jet aircraft tailored to short- and medium-haul routes. SkyWork Airlines ceased operations in August 2018 after failing to secure additional financing, grounding its aircraft and leaving passengers stranded. The collapse marked the end of scheduled commercial services at Bern Airport for a significant period.

Encyclopaedia

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.
