Flybe bankrupt again – All flights cancelled

Flybe has now ceased trading and all flights from/to/within the UK operated by Flybe have been cancelled and will not be rescheduled.

On 28 January 2023, the High Court appointed David Pike and Mike Pink as Joint Administrators of Flybe Limited.

Flybe is bankrupt again. After its first bankruptcy on 5 March 2020, the Birmingham-based company found a new investor to re-launch operations in April 2021 within the UK and internationally to Amsterdam, Geneva and 3 seasonal French touristic cities with a fleet of 8 De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 aircraft. However, it never managed to become profitable.

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 on 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.
