New airline considering New Castle

NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP) - January 8, 2008

Skybus Airlines says a contract has not been worked out but says an announcement is possible in the near future.

The airport has been without a commercial carrier since Delta Air Lines pulled out last year.

Skybus began operating in May and currently flies to 15 cities. A spokesman says it will add the ninth aircraft to its fleet next week and is adding a new plane a month.

The airline uses full-size jets with about 150 seats.
