Flybe goes into administration

Airline Flybe has officially gone into administration meaning all its flights to and from the Isle of Man have been cancelled.

An official statement in the early hours of this morning says all its flights have now been grounded with immediate effect including services to and from the Island including between Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.

Any passengers booked on its services are being asked not to travel to the airport unless they've arranged travel on an alternative airline.

According to Sky News, it comes after a slump in bookings due to the global coronavirus outbreak after the company had already asked for a state loan which appeared to have been rejected.
