FlyBe passengers offered special fares by British Airways, Ryanair and easyJet after regional carrier ceases trading and cancels all flights

Flybe has cancelled all scheduled flights after the airline went into administration on Saturday [January 28]. The low cost carrier said customers have been urged not to proceed with their travel plans unless they have arranged alternative flights.

Paul Smith, consumer director at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, said: “It is always sad to see an airline enter administration and we know that Flybe's decision to stop trading will be distressing for all of its employees and customers.
