Its insane how many airlines are collapsing😢😢
Bryson Tyreese Watch the Wendover Productions video on it. Very helpful.
Yes that's true
Like air Italy 🥺😭😭
Star Trek Theory racist
Very bad management as this kind of outcome.
Sad to see them gone. I wish the best for the former staff.
Sad too :(
Ryanair is talking their staff
Thanks mate
😢😢😢😢
Those Crazy Dash 8 landings will be missed
Their pilots are skilled af. 😭
My one and only flight on a Dash 8 variant was less than pleasant.
I was literally crying when I found out I loved them and saw them a lot when I plane spotted
Blue collar Silver dollar
You’re calling them childish and asinine just because they cried about an airline shutting down?
I know people who are 25-35 who literally cried when one of Sydney’s train classes retired for good. Both of them pretty irrational, but both perfectly fine ways to deal with an something important to them and having an emotional loss.
Blue collar Silver dollar I’d cry too. Your not a true aviatior
Dam . Gonna miss seeing the iconic purple dash 8s . I flew on one about 3 years ago and I really enjoyed it . It was a nice break to go on a prop plane rather than a turbofan
RIP Flybe I loved the purple livery
The crazy thing is that not even all their planes were in the purple livery despite having rolled it out in the early 2010’s
Best looking Dash 8 livery. This is a sad day in aviation. My prayers to the families that are affected by the shutdown.
This kinda reminds me of WOW's demise.
WOW, I agree.
I really do feel for those staff working for FlyBee. I hope they find new opportunities soon.
Southampton airport will be almost empty, I live close to it and usually see atleast half the planes landing from FlyBe now the airport will be dead
I only flew Flybe when they began the EDI-LHR route some time back
What a shame for all involved.
Having been in the industry for quite a while it's hard to predict just what's coming.
Slowdowns & layoffs can be costly! 😓
At least we kind of know who's next small airlines but if the airline has investors then it should be fine
Flybe was anything but small
Noooooooooooooooo r.i.p Flybe you will be remembered
I and my family use Flybe regularly from Belfast City airport. Even on journeys to Australia our journeys have started and ended with Flybe as we connect either through Heathrow or Manchester. Always found their staff to be kind and helpful. The only criticism was their very tight restriction on cabin bags fitting completely into those bag measuring cages but I suppose they were trying to increase their revenue. I'm under the flight path and I heard the last one fly over last night and it's very quiet here today. Hopefully the staff can find jobs elsewhere but at the moment it doesn't look good.
RIP, another wonderful airline has collapsed. Hy heart goes out to all employees of the airline.
As I was the first airline I flew with, I remeber all the flybe staff I saw and I wish all flybe personal good luck and hope you find a job soon.
Thank you Flybe for introducing me to aviation and helping me find my true passion in life. You were the first airline I ever flew with. We'll miss you 💜
DJs aviation you are a great channel! I hope your channel becomes very successful and thank you for the news you give us
It's sad to see the collapse of an airline, especially one many relied on. It also makes me wonder how those business models are working out for the industry. They sound unsustainable.
Pan Am going out of business was an absolute tragedy. Hard to believe which airlines end up succeeding and which go bankrupt.
I hope there is support for their employees and they can get new jobs or some money to compensate.
Thanks for the video. I was working for Flybe when we went into administration. A very, very sad and also stressful time for everyone who worked for the airline. There are sadly multiple legacy issues that have accumulated over the last ten years that have not helped us. I would just say that the shear hard work and determination of everyone who worked either on the aircraft or supported the aircraft in the background did their very best with the resources available, which at times were limited. We are holding our heads high, knowing that we gave our all to fly people safely to wherever they were heading, whether it be a business trip, a weekend away or seeing friends and relatives. Truly connecting the communities of the UK and I along with my friends and colleagues are truly proud of serving them and I would like to thank anyone reading this who have flown with us for doing so, it was much appreciated and we shall miss you.
F for Flybe.
The U.K lost a great airline, I'm sure they will be missed.
So sad to see Flybe gone.Flown with them many times since a child,great memories.A familiar sight here in Belfast,will be missed.They inheritted alot of debt when they took over BA Connect in 2006.Shame
Virgin & Delta are pretty guilty here. They got some pretty good deferal terms from the Gvmnt when VS and Delta should've been pumping the required money in. They then had plenty of opportunity to do so again in the last couple months but instead chose not to hanging out the employees.
My thoughts go to all the staff affected and I wish them every success in rapidly finding new employment.
F
Covid-19, the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Shame, I was looking forward to taking a flight first time with Flybe from Southampton to Jersey. Luckily I hadn’t booked it yet.
I love southampton its such a cute small airport and i hope it doesnt go under because 94 percent of flights from there are from flybe
Needless hysteria.
I can't help but feel like Corona is an excuse. 90% of Flybe's flights are domestic, I don't think Corona virus has really put people off domestic travel in the UK yet - in my experience domestic rail travel is just as busy as it was.
It was a pleasure to work at Flybe this last year. What was not a pleasure is the government backing down from a commitment to stand behind a company that was changing for the better.
Penny pinching Londoners.
Really unfortunate
I really Love their small plañes
I saw the news yesterday it could be under in days but I didn’t expect them to go this quick😱 I feel sorry for the cabin crew and pilots but not the management as they brought them under by bad decisions
I was looking at job openings just a couple weeks ago :(
Mysterion157 OOF
Lucky
I have never flown with Flybe, but I love the airline! I loved seeing their Dash Q’s takeoff at my local airport. They were the only Q400s that operates at my airport. The airline that linked the UK is no longer here. 😢
The worst thing about this is not necessarily the airline itself.
Flybe is the main airline to operate between smaller airports in the UK. There’s now going to be a serious lack of domestic air transport options for many smaller airports in the UK like Belfast City, Exeter, Aberdeen, Southampton etc.
And it’s not just the airline that’s at risk now. Both Belfast City and Exeter had nearly exclusively Flybe flights operating from them. With its collapse they have like 2-3 flights a day total operating at them. The staff at the airports may lose their jobs too
I am looking at my screen today via my SBS-1 and the sky is half empty. No familiar little picture of the Flybe DHC-8, etc. in my aircraft list. Shame for them to go, they will be missed.
I think i speak for not just myself but on behalf of all my fellow engineers at flybe exeter when i say its been a tough 24 hours. I wish I could say this came as a shock but we kind of saw it coming over the last year or so. It was just a case of when really. That being said, this is a blow for us all, not just finacially or from a career progression perspective. It was an awesome place to work with amazing people. Its nice to see so much support from the aviation community and the wider public aswell, hopefully this all resolves quickly and we can all get back to doing what we love and do best 👍
I'm sorry for the loss of both your livelihood and your Flybe family. I sincerely hope that you and your colleagues are able to get new employment and wish you all the best.
March 05 2020 marks a very sad day in aviation. As an independent travel agent, I often booked FlyBE services for my clients, from around the UK. UK aviation will never be quite the same. My thoughts and good wishes go to all FlyBE employees who have always been professional, helpful and efficient whenever I've dealt with them.
Ill miss that purple liveries😭😭😭😭
Such a great airline, RIP Flybe
Well, there goes Flybe. Rip Flybe, this is so sad.
Air Italy and now this??
FlyBe will be missed. Our hearts are will the staff.
R.I.P Flybe Birmingham airport was the closest airport to me
Thanks for the quick update. Although the loss of flybe won't affect my job security or anything personally touching my life I would like to say that I feel the loss personal in the meaning of losing a bunch of great people to work with (flight deck and cabin crew of flybe). Those guys did what they could to keep the company afloat and always with a smile. They were professional to the very end and wherever their next steps might lead, I wish them the best. You'll always be faster than a road or rail 💪🏼
It must be hard loosing your job. I wish everyone a speedy recovery into a new job
Regularly used Flybe from SEN to CGN in the past. Great service, friendly staff. A pity to see them go.
Tough times in the travel industry in general. Shame about Flybe.
I just hope that banks and financers are patient in these trying times even freezing interest will go a long way to help companies recover , I am so sorry for what happened to Flybe
Flybe was a good airline that I used to commute between Cardiff and Belfast weekly a few years back. It is sad to hear this news and thoughts go out to all pilots, crew, engineers and support staff. I hope that other local airlines can piggyback some of the services and utilise staff in this. Good luck to all.
Not the best of news. But other carriers will step in and take up a good percentage of the vacant slots.
Wishing all the staff the very best for the future.
sarcasm mode activated, brilliant news. Guess who has a flight booked from Southampton to Manchester in the next few weeks
Rip
Flybe let’s pray for Flybe to come back
Or Flybe 2.0
I also know that LNER and Transpennine Express are helping with some of the flights by making it free to travel if someone already booked with Fly be
Eastleigh or Southampton Airport will suffer they make up the biggest airline for this Airport.
Exeter and Belfast City will be decimated
C Maybe easyjet will take over
@@forza223bowe5 Cannot see EJ take over Southampton as they already cover the region from Gatwick and the runway is not the longest. Bournemouth has Ryanair....perhaps they would dump Bournemouth.
So sorry for Flybe. Flew Flybe a few times Dublin to Southampton and back. I have no complaints.
My local airport (Southampton Airport) is going to be dead quiet. Sad to see them go. I hope all the employees find alternative employment and that all the passengers who were affected get to where they want to.
Ah man
I saw this coming 😢
I hope their employees find new jobs
Samuel Pounardjian Maybe Jet 2 will employ them if they move north as Jet2 going from strength to strength 💙✈️🇬🇧🍀👨✈️
I hope so
I am so Sorry to all the Flybe Employee's who have lost there job...Please know that you all will be in my Prayers..
As a 40 year airline veteran I am deeply saddened by the collapse of Flybe, and I fear many marginally profitable airlines may fall victim to the airline industry’s slowing demand.
it's sad but we'll all move on RIP flybe my favourite airline.
Very upset to hear this. It’ll mean bad news for lots of regional airports in the UK, including my old local airport; Exeter.
I left with Flybe to a larger airport when I emigrated to Australia, several years ago. They’ll always hold a special place in my heart.
The industry is definitely shifting. It makes me wonder how Breeze and that other startup based in Houston, TX will fair.
Regionals in the U.S. typically do better than in Europe. In Europe, travel on an airline is mainly centered around vacationing or "holiday" travel as they would call it. In the U.S. it's centered more around business travel. In Europe there are "seasons" for travelers, where in the U.S., people are traveling a lot more consistently. I saw an interesting video about the differences, but cant remember who made it. If Im not mistaken, Breeze is going to be based in KSLC, my home airport. I'm curious how they will compete with Delta.
@@stratochief99 I know Breeze is going to do point to point service. But the Texas-based one (whose name still escapes me) is trying to be a "holiday destination" carrier like Allegiant.
Mixed feelings they were OK, they took over routes from BMI Baby and BA regional as I recall, used them a lot from BHX EMA and no horror stories but check in on line could be frustrating particularly with code share flights, rage quit a number of times only to loose seat choice when arriving at the airport without a boarding card. Staff always seemed nice and their drivers did some super good landings in some vicious cross winds
Just down to lousy management. I used to use flybe a lot before the takeover by Virgin and partners (5-6 flights per month). After that - only one flight, due to large price increases and restrictive baggage rules brought in making them uncompetitive on the routes that I used.
While it certainly is bad news and a difficult time for FLYBe employees, it does open up opportunities for new entities to step in and and offer a service. If there really is a viable market in the cities FLYBe served, someone will offer an air service. If not no company can service a loss making market.
A sad day, another airline bites the dust
I was due to fly on Tuesday. Absolutely gutted
I think klm or British airways could take advantage of by buying Flybe’s planes and carry passengers to their hub (using Flybe’s planes) and offer a discount if you fly them from your local airport to their hub and to your final destination (using them)
What will happen with all of these aircraft now?
If they are leased the aircraft are returned to the owners if not then they will be sold as part of the sale of the airlines assets.
With the Dash-8 having just been relaunched by the new de Havilland Canada company (after being abandonned by Bombardier), it is sad to see the failure of one of the largest Dash-8-400 customers (if not the largest). A glut of Dash-8s won't help with sales of new aircraf=t for the new company.
Hoping someone picks them up during asset sale without any of Flybe's debts and starts a new regional carrier to replace it. In Canada, even Westjet, which has an "all 737" philosophy ended up buying some for thinner routes. So I would hope larger British carriers might see some opportunity.
RIP Flybe
May you be remembered
I hope all of flybe’s pilots flight attendants get a new job quickly
What a shame that another regional gets caught up in this crisis at this time. What a great airline. God's Speed to all those that are affected.
No!
R.I.P Flybe, loved the airline 😭
Such a shame Flybe have gone.Their flights were essential to many of the smaller airports they served,and the larger ones too.
So many airlines going under at the moment....Pretty worrying..
RIP Flybe... Hope you can rise again some other day... ☹️
God bless and help people who have to deal with this collapse
A very sad day for the Aviation industry!
That's 3 big airlines since September. 3! Thomas Cook, XL France and Fly be now.
So how do you prevent stuff like this from happening? When times are good, new airline starts occur, existing airlines borrow, competition increases, prices come down ---- all of a sudden, it just takes is a feather to tilt the teeter-totter the other way.
Really? That's bad...
That's why UK needs HS 2 and eventually a nationwide system of high-speed rail (150 mph +), like France, Germany or Italy. Then there's no need for air travel at all within the UK
Jesus, Great Britain has been having a field day for Low Cost Carriers this past few months. Who’s next, Norwegian!
Jackson Smith possible
I think that’s all the UK’s vulnerable regional airlines gone along with Moncarch and Thomas Cook Group as a whole (airlines, hotels etc with the Thomas Cook name). Next it could be Virgin Atlantic as they nearly went bankrupt in 2015 and their finically results still aren’t pretty
BA / IAG will just buy up the assets if that happens. They were looking to buy them but the CEO got too big headed so WW walked away and now they will let them collapse then just buy up whats left instead unless they can get a good enough rescue deal.
The above is all IF of course
Say coronavirus on a video, get demonetized
markiangooley no
Breathen’t
I feel for all the staff & the people whom are connected with the airline. It is a sad day for all parties & this coronavirus will have a profound impact on all the airline industry large or small! Watch this space!
NOO
Flew from Luton to Edinburgh yesterday and saw monarchs logo on one of the buildings then landed in Edinburgh and saw a flybe plane sat there :(
I couldn’t sleep when I heard this news
Its so very sad too see fly be too go what a great airline it was it really was im just so very upset too see fly be go bankrupt it pains me too see a great airline go and i feel there pain
Good luck to the staff at Flybe! Hate to se them go
Sad to see any airline collapse but tough business especially with lowered demand. Good luck for employees with either other carriers and or other career fields. I think we will see a downlink effect across the industry with hiring freezes at minimum. Hopefully no layoffs but I suspect medium to long term hiring freezes for all aviation career fields, especially commercial carriers and not only UK but worldwide. The international demand way down which feeds airlines to domestic routes but if nothing in then nothing out.
I speak domestic routes as a general term as in US carriers to Europe, the inter country (uK-UK, DE-DE or FR-FR etc...)European flights become domestic. Same as foreign carriers to US. Good luck!

After looking at this comment I had to
To anyone who had worked for flybe I am sorry that you lost your job because of the collapse of the company my condolences for you guys to fine a new job is with you.
These were a good airline and I used them all the time to fly to Belfast and Aberdeen. They will be missed.
they operated a really valuable service connecting Belfast to the UK mainland, they’ll be missed
Loganair have taken on 16 of there routes and are hiring there staff
So sad. Thoughts go to all Flybe staff. Will miss them.🇬🇧
I feel bad but it makes sense for vistara to launch non stop flights to London from India due to that
You are the youtuber who gets sick 😷 the most! Look into that so you stay health!
It's a sad day but unfortunately Flybe's demise has been on the cards for some time, they simply grew too fast too quickly which put the company in a vulnerable position. Spare a thought for airlines which are currently dealing with the Boeing 737 MAX debacle, the Coronavirus emergency will inject further financial stress into an already stressful situation.
Some of the aircraft were sub-branded Stobart air, maybe they with Virgin will step in.
The past few months I personally think was the hardest in aviation
