(Reuters) – Regional British airline Flybe has ceased trading and cancelled all scheduled flights, the corporate said on Saturday.
Flybe posted on Twitter that it had been placed into administration, adding that flights to and from Britain wouldn’t be rescheduled. “David Pike and Mike Pink of Interpath have been appointed administrators,” it said.
Paul Smith, consumer director on the country’s Civil Aviation Authority, said in an announcement, “Flybe’s decision to stop trading can be distressing for all of its employees and customers.”
Flybe was attempting to revive after collapsing in March 2020 on a plunge in demand because of COVID-19.
