Doncaster Sheffield Airport issues statement to customers after Flybe collapse
Doncaster Sheffield Airport has issued a statement on the collapse of the Flybe airline this morning.
The firm went into administration, putting up to 2,000 jobs at risk and affecting thousands of passengers, in the early hours.
A rescue deal could not be agreed yesterday after crisis talks.
Planes have been grounded and customers have been advised against travelling to airports.
Flybe cancelled flights from Doncaster Sheffield Airport last October as the firm tried to streamline services.
In a statement today, the airport said: “We are saddened by today’s announcement that Flybe has ceased trading and gone into administration.
“Whilst Doncaster Sheffield Airport is not directly impacted by today’s action, having worked with Flybe for a number of years, our thoughts are with former colleagues at this difficult time and hope those affected find re-employment soon. We continue to operate as normal with airlines Wizz Air and TUI.”
