Regional airline Flybe has ceased trading and cancelled all scheduled flights.
The regional carrier was once the largest independent regional airline in Europe until its sale in 2019. Flybe scheduled regular flights between Liverpool and Belfast until four years ago. The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) made the announcement on January 28 that the company had gone into administration and urged those with booked Flybe flights not to travel to airports.
Three early Flybe flights from Belfast, two from Birmingham and two from Amsterdam were all showing as ‘scheduled on time’ on Flybe’s online flight status live tracker at 5am. But the CAA urged ticket-holders to instead check its website for the latest information.
