Flybe Leeds Bradford Airport statement and how to get a refund as airline stops trading

Flybe have issued a statement and urged passengers not to travel to the airport after it has ceased trading and all flights are cancelled.

The airline, which operated out of multiple airports in the country, announced the news early on Saturday morning and now all flights have been cancelled and will not be operating. Passengers are being urged not to travel to airports if they have a flight booked with Flybe.

The Birmingham based airline was relaunched just last year after it was bought out of administration in 2021. It has been operating from Leeds Bradford Airport since then and flying regularly to Belfast.

In a statement the UK Civil Aviation Authority said: “All Flybe-flights have now been cancelled. Please do not go to the airport as flights will not be operating,” the authority said in a statement. “Flybe customers who still need to travel, will need to make their own alternative travel arrangements via other airlines, rail or coach operators.”

What Flybe have said

"Flybe has now ceased trading and all flights from and to the UK operated by Flybe have been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. If you are a passenger affected by this event, please read the advice below.

"If you are due to fly with Flybe today or in the future, please DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE AIRPORT unless you have arranged an alternative flight with another airline. Please note that Flybe is unfortunately not able to arrange alternative flights for passengers.

"If you have a Flybe booking sold by an intermediary (i.e. not directly with Flybe) that includes travel on a Flybe flight, please contact the relevant airline or booking / travel agent to confirm if there is any impact to your travel plans as the intermediary may be able to support you with alternative arrangements and provide further advice regarding any claim you may need to make.

"Customers are also advised to monitor the Civil Aviation Authority website for further information www.caa.co.uk/news. If you require any further information or assistance, please contact the Administrators at: flybecustomers@interpathadvisory.com."

What to do to get a refund

If you have a flight booked with Flybe for any airport you will be able to apply for a refund. Flybe however, is not able to book you an alternative flight or travel arrangements if your flight has been cancelled last minute.

If you have a flight booked not directly with Flybe, but it includes travel on a Flybe flight, contact the relevant airline to confirm there is an impact on your travel plans. They also will be able to support you with alternative booking arrangements or provide advice on any claim you may need to make.

If you require further help or assistance on a refund you should contact the administrators at flybecustomers@interpathadvisory.com.
