Jetsgo ceases operations; travellers stranded

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/03/10/Jetsgo-050310.html

MONTREAL - Jetsgo, one of the country's upstart discount airlines, announced just after midnight Friday that it will stop all operations immediately.

Passengers are advised to make alternative travel arrangements as there will be no aircraft or staff available. Travellers looking to return from a trip must also book with other airlines.

... The release blamed "difficult market conditions" for its action.

The airline, based out of Montreal, flew across the country. Although its primary business was between Canadian cities, Jetsgo also provided flights to New York City, Las Vegas and destinations in Mexico and Florida.

1. Aren't they the ones that sold flights for a dollar?

Either that's an honest claim in which case you get what you pay for, or it's not, in which case I don't like getting jerked around by ridiculous marketing or the companies that engage in it.
