Flybe 2 fails, goes into receivership, ceases operations

Flybe (2nd) (Birmingham) has failed like the original Flybe. Today, January 28, 2023, the reborn carrier went into receivership and administrators were appointed. The new Flybe ceased all operations.

Previously in October 2022, the company ceased its flights between Leeds/Bradford and London due to low demand.

In the same month, the airline suspended flights to Southampton.

According to Cirium:

  • Next week (30 Jan – 5 Feb) Flybe was scheduled to operate 292 flights – equating to over 22,700 seats.

This month the airline had previously announced it was increasing frequencies from Belfast City Airport and Birmingham International Airport across the UK and Amsterdam starting on March 26, 2023 for the summer of 2023:

All of these plans will now probably not happen in administration.

The restored airline launched operations on April 13, 2022.
