The port of Cabo San Lucas was shut and a line of trailers formed as yachts, water taxis and glass-bottomed tourist boats were removed from the water for safety reasons.

SkyEurope had a fleet of 14 aircraft with 697 employees serving 38 destinations at the end of 2008. Its flight load factor was 72.7 percent.
