UK CAA’s statement on Flybe administration
Paul Smith, Consumer Director at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, said in a document posted in the Civil Aviation Authority website that “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.”
“We urge passengers planning to fly with this airline not to go to the airport as all Flybe flights are cancelled. For the latest advice, Flybe customers should visit the Civil Aviation Authority’s website or our Twitter feed for more information”, he concluded.
This is a developing story.
