Mostly attributed to slowing economy, rising jet fuel costs and reduced passenger loads, 13 airlines have been forced to cease operations in the first five months of 2008. The list reads as follows:
1. MAXjetAirways, Dulles, VA based, business class, defunct Dec 2007
2. City Star Airlines, Scotland-based, Feb 2008
3. Skybus Airlines, Ohio-based, Apr 2008
4. Aloha Airlines, Hawaii-based, Apr 2008
5. ATA, Indiana-based, Apr 2008

7. Oasis Hong Kong Airlines, Apr 2008
8. Frontier Airlines, Denver-based, Apr 2008
9. Euromanx, Isle of Man, Apr 2008
10. Nationwide Airlines, South Africa-based, Apr 2008
11. EOS, Atlanta-based, business class, London to New York, May 2008
12. Silverjet Aviation, a business class airline based in London, announced their demise today, June 2008
