A lot of people seem to think the government will bale us out as flybe are crucial to many local economies not well served by other carriers , so fingers crossed
Wishing everyone at Flybe well. For all of the negative comments (some of them just downright stupid and ill-considered) on their social channels, I've always had good and professional service, at reasonable prices.
I do agree that the case for supporting them is somewhat different to what it was for Thomas Cook, for example.
The latter was predominantly a holiday airline.
Flybe provide connectivity for transport for business, family, medical (and probably many other) reasons to some of the remotest and most deprived parts of the UK.
Airports like BHD and SOU might aswell shut up shop without a Flybe presence.
Hopefully the Govt will see that they don't want to be associated with not trying to help to prevent the above, let alone redundancies that would result at the airline, airports and supporting businesses.
