You Still Have Time to Order These Fine Products

The company that produces SkyMall, the in-flight shopping catalog that entices airline travelers with offers for iFetch ball launchers for dogs and mini clap-on alarm clocks, is bracing for a hard financial landing.

SkyMall parent firm Xhibit Corp. (XBTC) and related subsidiaries filed for federal bankruptcy court protection in Phoenix on Friday, citing a funding crisis and seeking a court-supervised sale of their assets.

SkyMall, found in the seat-back pockets on many airline flights, once enjoyed a virtually captive audience of air travelers. No more

"Historically, the SkyMall catalog was the sole in-flight option for potential purchasers of products to review while traveling," Xhibit Chief Financial Officer Scott Wiley wrote in a legal declaration filed with the bankruptcy petition.

"With the increased use of electronic devices on planes, fewer people browsed the SkyMall in-flight catalog," wrote Wiley. "The substantial increase in the number of air carriers which provide Internet access, and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's recent decision to allow the use of electronic devices during take-off and landing, resulted in additional competition from e-commerce retailers and additional competition for the attention of passengers, all of which further negatively impacted SkyMall's catalog sales."

There are changes in the air but if you order now these products may still be in stock.
