I recognise the impact this will have on Flybe’s passengers and staff – and express deep sympathy for all those affected.

The vast majority of Flybe routes are served by different transport options, and we are working to ensure passengers can make their journeys as smoothly as possible. We are also working to minimise any disruption to routes operated by Flybe by looking at how routes not already covered by other airlines can be re-established.

Through the reviews of regional connectivity and Airport Passenger Duty we have announced, we will bring forward recommendations to help ensure that the whole of the UK has the connections in place that people rely on so we can continue to level up the entire country.

Impacted Flybe customers are being directed to the Civil Aviation Authority’s website for information. Impacted Virgin Atlantic customers are encouraged to SMS 07481 339184 or WhatsApp 0344 874 7747 for the latest advice.

The latest government advice for employees, passengers and suppliers can be found here. This webpage will be automatically updated.
