JetAmerica goes bust

That was quick. In less than two months after opening shop for business, ~~Jet Airways~~ JetAmerica has decided it can't take people from Toledo to points beyond after all. The end of May the airlines had started selling tickets to places like Melbourne, Florida, Lansing, Michigan and South Bend, Indiana with plans to expand to Newark, New Jersey and more. The airlines was to start flying this month.

Unfortunately, the okay for the route to Newark was taking longer than the airlines could withstand, so people are getting refunds. That's according to what I've gathered from this article summarizing the situation in NYC Aviation.

The CEO said that the airlines hasn't totally bitten the dust and is looking into other possible markets. Regardless, those people counting on ~~Jet Airways~~ JetAmerica cheap seats out of Toledo to Florida this winter are out of luck. If you've been to Toledo in the winter, you can see why this is a real shame.

At least the airlines didn't pull a Skybus stunt by taking them to their destination and leaving them there or ruining honeymoon plans.

Zachary, sorry for the heart attack! Changes made. Whew. I'd buy you a drink to make amends. Have a great trip! I'm heading to Greece via Venice.
