SkyEurope suspends flights & files for bankruptcy
SkyEurope has suspended its operations. The low cost airline has filed for bankruptcy and flights have been grounded.


Customers who purchased SkyEurope flights with a credit card should contact their bank to seek refunds, the carrier advises on its website. Anyone who paid using means other than credit cards may not be able to obtain a refund.

Travellers already abroad will have to book a return flight with an alternative airline at their own expense. Those affected by SkyEurope's bankruptcy are urged to contact their insurance provider to seek further guidance and support. Anyone who rented a car through SkyEurope's business partner and is currently at their destination can continue to use the vehicle during the agreed period.

According to Reuters, SkyEurope does not have the funds to continue operations as passenger numbers and flight revenue have continued to fall. The carrier had a fleet of 14 aircraft and served destinations in eastern Europe from Luton and Manchester.
