Flyglobespan goes into administration
Wednesday, December 16, 2009

Scottish travel company Globespan Group, which owns web-based flight and package holiday firm Flyglobespan.com, is in the process of entering administration after failing to secure a last-minute investment package, TTG understands.
A source told TTG that papers were in the process of being served to the courts and that a formal statement from Globespan and the CAA would follow.
TTG understands the company's staff has been informed.

Before everyone starts talking too fast. Has the company stopped operating/trading? It's the job of the administrators to find a buyer, or even trade out of trouble, if they can.

Very sorry guys, very sorry indeed. Always held a lot of affection for your operation. It isn't without its ups and downs, but it always seems to hold its own and pulls through the sh1t. I wish someone would come in and save the day. Doesn't deserve to go!

Just tried to make a booking reservation, and the site wont allow it, looks like they have stopped - surely if they wished to trade out trouble if you would still be taking the bookings?
I imagine it will be a case of get the a/c back asap, if airports will allow them to depart, much like when excel went under.
awful news. me thinks more to come.

Very sad news indeed, condolences to all involved with the airline and also some sadness as they are a scottish company.
I understood that the airline had made a small profit. Was this just the airline as opposed to the globespan group in general which appears to have gone to the wall.
My holiday in september with globespan was excellent.

From BBC News:
BBC News - Flyglobespan goes into administration
"Set up in 2002, the company operates from five UK airports, including Prestwick, Edinburgh and Aberdeen."
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall them ever operating out of PIK?
Is Alba Handling wholly owned by the Globespan Group? Will that be them gone as well. They hold the Flybe contract @ Glasgow, had quite an impact on Servisair when they wont that contract.
