British regional airline Flybe ceased trading on Saturday, January 29, and cancelled all its scheduled flights, leaving passengers stranded and making hundreds of workers redundant.
A statement on Flybe’s website said the airline had entered administration, a form of protection from creditors.
“Flybe has now ceased trading and all flights from and to the UK operated by Flybe have been cancelled and will not be rescheduled,” it said.
It advised people due to fly not to travel to airports.
The airline initially slumped into bankruptcy in March 2020, eliminating 2,400 jobs, as coronavirus restrictions decimated the travel industry.
The company was rescued after being bought by Thyme Opco, a firm linked to US hedge fund Cyrus Capital and subsequently renamed Flybe Limited.
The airline resumed operations in April 2022 with a plan to operate up to 530 flights per week across 23 routes.
Until the most recent collapse, Flybe operated flights on 21 routes from Belfast City, Birmingham, and Heathrow to airports across the UK as well as to Amsterdam and Geneva.
