Skybus orders 65 jets from Airbus
Columbus-based startup airline’s order could be worth $3 billion, some estimate By Marla Matzer Rose The Columbus Dispatch Skybus Airlines, a Columbus carrier that expects to start flying next year, has signed a contract to buy 65 jets from Airbus. The French aerospace company called the order one of the largest it has ever received from a startup U.S. airline. The deal calls for Skybus to begin receiving the A319 planes in late 2008. The plane typically holds about 130 passengers. http://www.dispatch.com/business/bus...p?story=222016 |
