In 1977, Laker Airways launched a new service called Skytrain. Skytrain was a no-frills airline that offered even lower fares than Laker Airways' regular service. Skytrain was a huge success and helped to make Laker Airways one of the most popular airlines in the world.
Laker Airways faced a number of challenges and controversies during its history. The airline was often criticized for its low fares, which some people argued were too low to be profitable. Laker Airways also faced competition from larger airlines, such as British Airways and Pan Am.
In 1982, Laker Airways was forced to cease operations after it was unable to obtain a license to operate in the United States. The airline's collapse was a major blow to the low-cost airline industry.
