Skybus to St. Augustine, Nassau?

May 25th, 2007 | By Jared Blank

(If you don’t care about Skybus, please carry on…)

A tech-savvy OTR reader has passed on the following links:

http://ask.skybus.com/info/jacksonville.shtml
http://ask.skybus.com/info/nassau.shtml

which suggest that Nassau and Jacksonville will be Skybus’ next cities. A USA Today blurb confirms that Jacksonville may likely start up in early July. By "Jacksonville" I mean, of course, St. Augustine Airport, 40 miles from Jacksonville. In any case, look for Skybus to tweak their schedule going forward - wouldn’t be shocked to see Kansas City and Greensboro leave the ol’ route map.

A not-so-tech-savvy reader (me) found this.

It seems to mirror the links provided above. However, It would seem that Skybus has some VERY lofty plans. I don’t know if it’s a fluke or what, but the Sagarei (SGJ) in Papua New Guinea as a possible destination. I really hope that Skybus succeeds. I was born and raised in Columbus. It IS a very nice place to live and visit.

St. Augustine is on the list twice. UST is the IATA location identifier; SGJ is the FAA identifier, although, as you mentioned, IATA uses it for Aagarei.

Airplane Xing: Gibraltar’s bizarre runway - Look both ways before crossing the runway! Reader KB pointed me toward the Airport of Gibraltar, which has a road intersecting the airport. I’ve driven under taxiways and runways, but never across one. I believe the plane has the right of way… Space in Gibraltar is at a premium, and tunneling into the [...]
