No More "Hooters Air"?

Post by Mighty »

Rumors that the nation's most infamous low-cost carrier may soon be no more, Hooters Air announced this week the airline is ending service to two Pennsylvania airports -- and will also apparently leave the Tampa Bay, FL market for good in April.

Hooters Air -- which leases Boeing 737s, and one 757, from Pace Airlines -- attracted big publicity when it went online in 2003, and enjoyed a fair degree of success in its first couple of years of operation. Each flight features two Hooters "waitresses" onboard.

I'm actually not really superised. It just seemes that there ought to be airlines out there with better services and fares. I havn't been on a flight yet, but judging by the fact that it's an airline run by a restaurant, it also seems like something more temporairly. Thats what I would think.

Shame as Hooters air really decided to bring something radically new to passengers compared to other airlines which are very similar in on-board service.

Hope they can still keep flying.
