Wow, three U.S. based airlines closing shop for good in one week?
That's a triad of death!

April 5, 2008 - Skybus Airlines
April 2, 2008 - ATA Airlines
March 31, 2008 - Aloha Airlines


Your list is missing a couple:

Big Sky Airlines
Champion Air (Charter)

And soon to shut down:

- Midwest subsidiary - Skyway Airlines
- Mesa subsidiary - Air Midwest.


I seem to recall that Midwest merely awarded a contract to someone
other than Skyway


Skyway is shutting down its flight operations as Midwest awarded its
commuter contract to Skywest Airlines (St. George, Utah). skywest also
operates commuter services for United (United Express) and Delta. They fly
CRJ's.

Mesa is shutting down Air Midwest as they are eliminating Beech 1900
equipment as not economical for their operations.
