Rickenbacker has no passenger flights other than the
occasional charter, although a new airline flying to
Fort Myers is supposed to start flying out of LCK a
couple of times a week later this year. We'll see...
The only reason Skybus pays less at Port Columbus is
because they do not use jetbridges; all passenger
boarding is done using ground ramps and stairways. Fun
to watch when it's raining...
This is yet another way Skybus is able to offer such
cheap flights, in addition to the lack of a call
center (they dump the load for phone calls on the
Columbus Regional Airport Authority; I know this
because I used to work there and dealt with many an
irate Skybus customer).
