## Transcript

If you ever had the urge to make a purchase while cruising at 35, 000 feet, this was your way to go. The always novel, ever entertaining Sky Mall catalogue. But it appears the ubiquitous airline catalogue's day of selling over the top wine bottle openers or robot kitty litter cleaners are numbered. Sky Mall and it's parent company, Xhibit Corp, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday, seeking a court supervised sale of their assets. According to CNBC, Sky Mall generated nearly $ 34 million in revenue in 2013. But, only amassed some $ 15. 8 million, nine months into 2014. And, that drop appears to be due to a common killer of corporations, the internet and smart devices.

Quoted by the Wall Street Journal, Exhibit Corp CFO, Scott Wiley blames an immensely competitive retail environment for the company's decline. Adding, with the increased use of electronic devices on planes ,. Fewer people browsed the SkyMall in- flight catalog. Which isn't surprising. As Digital Trends reported, in 2014, in- flight Wi- Fi has become so commonplace, it could eventually kill off in- flight entertainments. SkyMall has managed to stay in business for 25 years, and was reportedly reaching as many as 650 million passengers per year. An auction for the company's assets will reportedly be held in March with a potential sale closing in April.

After that, you might just have to look for that armadillo beverage holder you've been pining for on Amazon.
