BillTheBinMan 0 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I see that the Skymark airline is in trouble - they are even saying on the news now that they might be shut down. Aren't they guys that go up to Hokkaido? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 yep, and very very cheap! Surprised - did they say why? Link to post Share on other sites

A lawyer 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 That's what they said on the progam I say. Is that a Japanese company? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yep, fully owned by Japanese investors. think HIS is a big share holder in them. Link to post Share on other sites

Last one, I'm sure passengers will be gutted! Link to post Share on other sites
TeddyBoy 0 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I used them this winter. They might have been cheap, but you could tell. Don't know if it was just my flight or bad timing or something, but it was a shabby service. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 never bin on a budget airline. I min, how bad is it? I gather no free booze, sos you have to pay for your own. No food, so you have to buy sandwiches from them. And I suppose a bj is out of the question. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 That's about it thurs. They are cheap and nasty but the point is they are cheap. You want service? Pay for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 what I hate is how there is even less room than in regular aircraft. The fact that its short haul keeps me sane......god help passengers if they start to do longer flights Link to post Share on other sites
smileyrider 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The one time we used them they were fine, no complaints. Link to post Share on other sites
