SkyMall was founded in 1990 by Alan Lobock, Matthew Del Bianco, Bob Worsley, and Graham Alcock. SkyMall operates a catalog and eCommerce site. The catalogs have long been staples for reading material on most US airlines, including American and SouthWest Air. The original plan was to allow customers to order from the catalog once they landed, and have the products brought to them within 20 minutes. This plan was later changed to home delivery.
The company offers a wide range of items, from dog beds to patio fountains. The company has been bought and sold several times over the years, the most recent being in 2013 when the company merged with Xhibit Corp.
SkyMall and Xhibit filed for bankruptcy in January of 2015, and was purchased by C&A Marketing in bankruptcy court. The company intends to relaunch the catalog, but retain the “cool and unusual” products.
