Product Details & Size Guide
Take a little airline history along for your next round with this Skybus Airlines golf towel. From its Columbus base, Skybus pursued an unusual low-fare model built around direct routes, secondary airports, and extra charges for many services. The airline’s rapid expansion and sudden 2008 closure made it a memorable case in the history of U.S. budget carriers. For golfers who also collect aviation memorabilia, this piece brings together a favorite pastime and a distinctive story from regional air travel.
Skybus Airlines Inc. was a privately held airline based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded after America West Airlines reduced its Columbus hub, the company sought to offer the lowest fares in the United States through an ultra-low-cost model inspired by European budget carriers. It received approval to operate on March 15, 2006, and FAA certification on May 10, 2007. Its first passenger flights departed Port Columbus International Airport on May 22, 2007, serving eight destinations. Skybus emphasized point-to-point routes, secondary airports, online ticket sales, advertised $10 seats, and extra charges for many services. It later established a second focus city at Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina, and added routes from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The airline also sold onboard merchandise and advertising on aircraft. Rising fuel costs and a weakening economy contributed to its shutdown announcement on April 4, 2008; its last flights operated the following day. Skybus sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. At closure, it employed about 450 people, mostly in the Columbus area, and operated 13 Airbus A319 aircraft, including leased planes.
Light, quick-drying, and built to travel with you on the course. This compact golf towel slips onto your bag with a solid gold grommet and ring, so it’s always within reach between swings.

Carry it clipped to your bag, loop it on your cart, or toss it in your travel kit—this towel is quietly reliable when the round gets long or the weather changes.
