Passengers stranded as SkyGreece shuts down

An airline that gained notoriety over the past couple of weeks for leaving passengers stranded has announced it’s temporarily ceasing operations.

SkyGreece Airlines is blaming the Greek economic crisis as well as technical issues with its only plane, which remains parked at Pearson in Toronto, according to airport officials.

Last week passengers were left waiting four days in Toronto for their flight to Athens.  This week the flight was cancelled completely without warning.

Passengers say there’s been no communication, and that after one night they were forced out of their hotels because SkyGreece was no longer paying the bill.

SkyGreece has removed its presence from social media and phone calls aren’t being answered.

The company only began flying last year.
