Headquarters

Bern, Switzerland

SkyWork Airlines was a Swiss regional carrier based in Bern, Switzerland. Operating under the IATA code SX and callsign SKYFOX, the airline focused on connecting Switzerland with European leisure and business destinations, with Bern Airport (BRN) serving as its primary base. The airline operated a modest fleet of turboprop and regional jet aircraft, offering scheduled and charter services. It positioned itself as a key operator supporting Bern Airport, which has historically struggled to attract and retain airline services. SkyWork Airlines ceased operations in August 2018 after encountering severe financial difficulties. The collapse of the airline was a significant blow to Bern Airport, leaving the airport without a major scheduled carrier and raising questions about the airport's long-term viability.

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.
