NEWARK -- JetAmerica, a fledgling discount airline that garnered
attention with $9 promotional fares, has folded without ever getting
off the ground, citing problems with getting landing and takeoff slots
at Newark Liberty International Airport.

The Clearwater, Fla.-based company says it's suspending sales to all
markets and will immediately begin to process refunds to customers.
Service was originally supposed to begin July 13 to underserved
markets in Toledo, Ohio; South Bend, Ind.; Melbourne, Fla.; and
Lansing, Mich. Flights were also scheduled for Minneapolis airport.

JetAmerica announced July 2 that it was delaying the launch of flight
operations by a month and refunding its first $500,000 in sales
because of problems securing landing slots at Newark Liberty
International Airport.

The company cited those problems in its announcement today.
