As a very regular user of NE (about 60 flights in 1 year) i found this forum while searching what happens to Sky. All that i can say is since several weeks on the line Paris Bratislava:
- planes are mixed up but mainly from Air Slovakia (one from Seagle also) and no more plane from Sky. Old planes compared to the brand new ones Sky used
- got once a B750 with the first 100 seats filled and the remaining 200 back seats empty after more than 3 hours late. Looks like the plane was unknown till the end
- had twice a free trip to Prague before going to Bratislava (2 hours late)
- had my flight booked for friday feb 20 canceled
I found the forum very interesting so i decided to give these informations. Although I like Slovakia and would like to help it is no longer possible to manage business like this and decided to switch to travel from Vienna via Niki (and taxi to Bratislava). As several other people i used to meet during my numerous flights.
Bratislava airport will be empty if Sky stops. 1 or 2 lines with Ryanair and few flights of Air Slovakia outside. May be this is the reason why they get some help from somewhere to continue.
And thanks for all the interesting informations i read tonight.

SkyEurope didn't have any good news yesterday:
Vienna - Ailing low-cost carrier SkyEurope reported Tuesday that passenger numbers dropped by 23.5 per cent in January, compared with the same month of the previous year.

Hzorglub,
Sky europe is flying Paris route from Vienna also where most of NGs (the ones you like) are based.
The vienna routes and schedules(on time performance) land within 15 minutes more than 85 perc of time.(check our website).
Sorry to hear you leaving us..

Well, even those of my ex-colleagues/friends who are still working for SkyEurope meanwhile all agree that the end is coming.
The question is just when. Despite all earlier predictions, SkyEurope always went on and on. I think it might still fly for quite a while, and surprise us all.

Hope so.
I will check the advice for the Vienna route. I though the difficulties were everywhere but if it's OK with Sky through Vienna why not.
In 60 trips I never had the least incident with Sky. Everything is perfect while you are in flight. Only negative point is ground service.

How much money will SkyEurope earn inside this time frame... or lose perhaps?
After that, there will either be yet another extension, or there won't.
Unfortunately, this is how things have become at SkyEurope.
Their last chance now is to find some cheap 737 "classics" to rent, and try to resume operations with them.
But I fear that it is probably too late. They just made too many mistakes in the past, and now, finally, the cash has run out.

Ailing low-cost carrier Slovakian SkyEurope reported on February 10 that passenger numbers dropped by 23.5 percent in January, compared with the same month of the previous year. The Slovakia-based airline, which is listed on the Vienna stock exchange, has said it would reduce capacity by some 19 per cent during the winter months of 2009.

A waiting game?
eu01 - I thought the 2nd postponement of releasing financial results was to 15 March ?
No idea whether it's a coincidence that this is the same day as the next loan due date
As a *purely specualtive* question, would the formal publication of the accounts for the year as signed off by the auditors showing a large loss necessitate that the relevant aviation regulator take action over the AOC with regards to the airline's financial stability ?

Flew LTN - BTS and BTS - SAW with SkyEurope last week. Both flights were well loaded and on time.
LTN - BTS was on Air Slovakia's OM-ASD with 1 x SkyEurope and 3 x Air Slovakia cabin crew. BTS - SAW was on LY-AWG with a full SkyEurope cabin crew. I assume the latter is from FlyLAL as someone mentioned earlier - does this mean they have two of these now and are they now "owned" by SkyEurope?
Good to see they are still flying... I've always had a soft spot for them.

2008/9 Q1 results
Published at the end of last month, covering the period Oct 2008-Dec 2008.
http://www.skyeurope.com/Documents/q..._report_en.pdf
Note in particular the figures for total equity and cash and equivalents, also the comments on page 16 about 'going concern' and the 'post balance sheet events' on page 17, which give details of the redelivery costs incurred.

Position looks bleak unless it can get the extra funding.
Its suppliers have provided extra credit to keep it going and it states there is 10M held by old credit card partner but ultimately a poistion gets reached where suppliers can do no more.
They have a week before finding out what happens to funding.

Annual audited accounts (previously delayed) and loans both due on Sunday 15 March. It's now the 13 March. AFAIK, the TARGET payment system for euros is open only on weekdays. Further, much of the regulatory apparatus for filing accounts, as well as stock exchange news feeds, go rather quiet at the weekend.
So - anyone heard anything ?
