BBC's Simon Jack tweeting that an annoucned should be expected 11 pm'ish after the last flight has landed. He also says:
Not correct. There is at least one Q400 overnighting at DUS. It has landed about an hour ago. FWIW, two of the four MAN flights from there for tomorrow are already cancelled on the airport website.

Won't they face serious cash flow problems or are monies received by Flybe for flights of franchisees put in escrow?

I wonder if this could end up to be a blessing in disguise. Allow someone to buy the profitable parts of BE from the administrators and come back as a leaner operation? It happens in the retail industry all the time. I suspect that the BE name would be tainted by now though. It would definitely be perfect timing for that long awaited Virgin Connect re-brand that seems to have been on ice..............

I'd be amazed if the franchise partners hadn't seen this coming and started to make plans. Also the longer term opportunities for them probably outweigh the short term pain.

Pass, I don't know that arrangement. But from experience, I imagine they'll be out of pocket for it.

Any prospect of 'rescuing' anything from administration in this industry is dilusional. That's not how this works, until the CAA changes thing. There is nothing to recover. All of Flybe's assets are debt secured and then you have all the aircraft on lease, there's literally nothing to recover. You might end up with a bunch of cheap leases for an existing operator to expand and grab the Dash8s... but the AOC will be gone and more.

isnt it interesting that eastern airways has an embraer 170 and 3 190's coming, perhaps forward planning by them, who knows tho

It’s over. Give it up. Hopefully there will be new opportunities for you but such a blind and blinkered approach doesn’t do you any favours.

Flybe has been serially mismanaged by successive teams and now has billionaire owners who think its the taxpayers duty to bail them out.

let’s hope a leaner operation can come from the ashes and also help Loganair and others expand and thrive.

The E190 were - until now - earmarked for charter work.

Indeed. If they were withholding tax from the govt I would imagine franchise partners would also be waiting for their cash... And it is terrifically sad but this could be the making of Loganair...

on Twitter it is being said that the aircraft at MAN are not being impounded & blocked in by vehicles, so they can't move.

NOT being impounded, or NOW being impounded?

Sorry....NOW

Looks like another vehicle blocking the Flybe next door.

Cheers for clarifying Garry. Was just the end of the sentence and comma made me wonder.

Hence my asking if those monies are put in escrow so that Flybe's creditors cannot get hold of them. Would be a sensible set-up at any time.

Very sad
 

FlyBe have gone. Unfortunate employees and suppliers will now struggle. Aviation is such a hard industry.

All that means is that GLA have thrown their toys out over unpaid fees incurred by that Aircraft.

Now if there was a Eurocontrol lien alongside it then that would possibly be terminal.

Wake up and smell the coffee
