Information about flybe
flybe
Flybe ceased operating flights on 5 March 2020. After being relaunched and resuming flights on certain routes, the airline finally entered administration on 28th January 2023.
Flybe was a British low-cost airline based at Exeter Airport England. The airline British Airways owned 15% of the low cost airline. To avoid a hefty fine in 2008, the airline simply rented 172 passengers who flew for a fee of 40 to 50 euros from Dublin to Norwich. Behind this unusual act was a contract with Norwich airport. After this, Flybe committed itself to transporting 15,000 passengers on that route in the following 3 years. As the target had not been met after this period, the airline resolved the problem in this way. The airline had a large number of operating bases in the UK besides its headquarters in Exeter, with large bases at Southampton and Aberdeen airport. From its departure airports, Flybe operated flights on a scheduled low-cost basis as well as seasonal charter flights to many popular tourist resorts and cities in Europe.
