Flybe is closing six bases in the UK as part of its cost-cutting plan, the airline has announced.
Bases at Aberdeen, Guernsey, Inverness, Isle of Man, Jersey and Newcastle are due to close as the airline looks to save GBP£85 million and shed 500 jobs.
The lead base at Exeter is to face the biggest number of job losses with 116 proposed redundancies, with Belfast City next with 52 job losses.
Saad Hammad, who took over as the the airline's chief executive in August, said: "I know that these proposals are creating great personal uncertainty, but they are necessary to secure a long-term future for Flybe and I am grateful to the various union and staff representatives for the very constructive manner in which we have been able to commence the consultation process."
