British airline Flybe entered administration for the second time and has cancelled all scheduled flights to and from the U.K., the regional carrier said on Saturday.
With Britain in lockdown throughout the pandemic, Flybe was among the many first airlines to enter administration in 2020, putting around 2,400 jobs in danger at the moment.
It resumed flight services in April last yr.
In a press release posted on its Twitter account, Flybe said that it has now “ceased trading” and advised travellers to not travel to airports as it could not give you the option to rearrange alternative flights for passengers.
The High Court has appointed David Pike and Mike Pink as joint administrators of Flybe, it said.
Paul Smith, consumer director at UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), said in a press release: “Flybe’s decision to stop trading will likely be distressing for all of its employees and customers.”
The CAA said it would offer advice and data to affected passengers.
Flybe, which was once the most important independent regional airline in Europe, operated between 81 airports, was sold to Thyme Opco, a firm controlled by Cyrus Capital, in 2021.
