Used them many times . Two weeks ago had 90 min delays both directions (and flew with Slovak Air - as SkyEurope's newer planes have been taken back by the owners).

Financial troubles have been there for a couple of years. Their main shareholder (York Partners) also has a major loan to them and has extended this a few times to keep them alive.

I book the crazy price deals when they have them so my exposure is limited (paid EUR 36,51 for 2 people + 1 case two weeks ago, but booked in summer last year). Also paid EUR 90 total in December for 5 people Brat-Man return for end of July.

Biggest problem is that there aren't enough bums on seats at the moment.

I'd wait for a crazy offer (EUR 9 or 19 per direction are good; they have them every couple of months.)
