As previously reported, Flybe is in talks to secure emergency funding as it seeks to stave off a collapse. The airline was acquired last March by Connect Airways, a consortium comprising Virgin Atlantic, Stobart Group and Cyrus Capital Partners.
Sky News said that although the airline is in talks about securing investment, professional services firm EY on standby to handle an administration if the discussions prove unsuccessful.
A spokesperson for Flybe said: “Flybe continues to provide great service and connectivity for our customers while ensuring they can continue to travel as planned. We don’t comment on rumour or speculation.”
