COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Skybus Airlines filed for bankruptcy the same day it shut down and less than a year after the Columbus, Ohio-based airline began service. Skybus spokesman Bob Tenenbaum says the low-cost carrier filed papers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware Saturday night. Skybus was known for its $10 fares and a la carte, pay-per-service flying. It had been hurt by rising fuel prices and a slowing economy. It is the third airline to shut down in the past week, following Indianapolis-based ATA and Aloha Airlines.
U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern, D-Worcester, brought $27.7 million back to Massachusetts including $735,000 for road safety improvements at the College of the Holy Cross, $245,000 for the John Bartholomew Gough Estate in Boylston, and $82,000 for the Molly Bish Center at Anna Maria College.
“The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse,” Mr. McGovern said in a statement. “I work closely with communities in my district, and I believe that I have a better idea of what those communities need than some bureaucrat in Washington who can’t even pronounce ‘Worcester.’ ”
