Flybe passengers offered discounted fares from British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair following airline's collapse

Passengers who were due to travel with Flybe are being offered special reduced fares from a number of travel companies following the airline's collapse.

Flybe announced earlier this morning that it had gone into administration, leaving customers of the regional airline stuck and advised to seek refunds by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Now, the CAA has announced a number of alternative special offers available to customers of the defunct airline who still need to travel, including journeys with British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair, reports WalesOnline.

British Airways

Customers are being offered one-way fares of £50/€60 plus taxes, fees and charges on selected routes to get them where they need to be. Customers due to fly with Flybe can travel on journeys between London and Belfast, Newcastle or Amsterdam. Customers can make their booking by calling the British Airways contact centre on 0344 493 0787.
