Skybus cancels at least 10 flights over the last few days:

After some 250 travelers were stranded Christmas Day, discount airline Skybus has canceled more flights out of Columbus, where the company is based.

Flights to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Bellingham, Washington, were scrubbed Wednesday morning.

The problems started Christmas morning when one of the planes that flies to multiple cities each day was found to have a mechanical problem.

That touched off a chain of cancellations, and also sent travelers scrambling for alternatives.

Flights to Chattanooga, Tenn.; Burbank, Calif.; and Biloxi, Miss., were among those canceled.

The Columbus-based discount airline made its first flight in May. It said last week that it lost 16 million dollars from July through September....snip
