None in the United States, though there are two that are destined to fail before starting.

I have many doubts about your question but here are my top listed:
1. Clickair (it's a failure and will be a great failure if IB don't prevent it).
2. Air Scotland (it out of Business now, no?)
3. Air Madrid (I do not consider it as low cost carrier but their rates are so reduced).

4. Virgin America
5. Virgin Express (only because it is being absorbed)

Quoting RAFVC10 (Reply 2): 1. Clickair (it's a failure and will be a great failure if IB don't prevent it).
Surely IB will keep ClickAir going - for it to fail this winter would be a total embarrasment
Quoting ZRHnerd (Reply 7): What about Wizzair? Haven't heard anything about them lately.
Theyve recently announced their expansion for next summer, at least some of it and seem to be doing OK - they are also well placed to expand further into Romania and Bulgaria when they become EU members

I will have to say Skybus and Virgin America. I would love to see them get off the ground, but there is just too much compacity as it is without 2 more carriers

Virgin America will not fail. Nor will Skybus. Not this winter anyways. I think too much has been pumped into Virgin America for them to fail. The only way I feel that they will fail is if the DOT does not let them fly. As for Skybus, they have a large amount of startup money, and will start service. Shortly after that, they will fail, but service will start before they do. My thoughts anyways.

Capacity, I hope you mean. Also, US domestic load factors are reaching record levels, thanks to the recent decrease in capacity. The capacity isn't there because it can't be filled profitably, and thus isn't being offered. Capacity isn't the problem- yield is. That said, I also believe that neither of the two will survive.

1. Till now loads are very good, It will grow receiving pax transfered from IB, It will become 1st spanish low cost carrier sure in the next 3 years surpassing VY.
2. It could dissapear last year , now doing well.
3. Nothing to say about future but i would say is LCC clearly, no hotels, no welfare, low costs
