Flybe has cancelled all flights to and from the UK after going into administration.
A statement on the airline's website said it had "ceased trading" and told any passengers expecting to travel with it not to go to the airport.
It added that it would not be able to help passengers arrange alternative flights.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it would provide advice and information to those affected.
Administrators have taken over the company, which only relaunched in April last year.

Daft route structure in many cases duplication of what was already on offer, coupled with route start ups and sudden withdrawals. Cancellations. Pretty poor customer service really.

In my opinion sticking with the Dash 8 was a poor choice. Expensive to operate and possibly too big for some routes. How do you expect to make money taking 13 pax to Newquay ? The competition (Loganair) has gone for the ATR-42/72, two sizes, commonality, low operating costs and a 'money spinner'. They are blaming aircraft shortages and late delivery ! I find that hard to believe there were 100 surplus Dash 8s at one point - most of the FlyBe 1 fleet went into storage at Moenchengladbach followed by the Air Baltic and Austrian Airlines aircraft . |

As I'm not local I forgot Loganair had taken over FlyBe's LPL routes. |
