Flybe Glasgow flights cancelled as airline goes into administration

Flybe flights from Glasgow have been cancelled after the airline entered administration today.

The news comes just under a year after new routes from the transport hub to Belfast and Birmingham were announced.

Passengers are being urged not to travel to airports and that the airline is unable to help organise alternative travel.

This is the second time the company has fallen into administration after they were saved by Thyme Opco in April 2021.

Operations restarted last April with 530 flights per week over 23 routes.

A statement from CAA consumer director Paul Smith said: “It is always sad to see an airline enter administration and we know that Flybe’s decision to stop trading will be distressing for all of its employees and customers.

“We urge passengers planning to fly with this airline not to go to the airport as all Flybe flights are cancelled.

“For the latest advice, Flybe customers should visit the Civil Aviation Authority’s website or our Twitter feed for more information.”

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has now provided advice for those impacted by the news.

A spokesperson from AGS Airports, which owns and manages Glasgow airport, said: "We havebeen informed of the sad news that Flybe has entered administration meaning all of the airline's flights have now been cancelled.

"The advice to passengers who were scheduled to travel with Flybe is not to travel to the airport and visit the Civil Aviation Authority’s website for further advice."
