Although they tried to blame this on Coronavirus that's a small part of it most likely. They nearly folded a few months ago and the government promised them massive tax subsidies which it appears they never followed through on. Regardless my point is that Flybe collapsing his little to nothing to do with Coronavirus. It just accelerated things ever so slightly.
- toyg 7y agoI agree - Flybe is the British Alitalia, they would have cracked at the first crisis anyway. Still, I'm happy to bet that, by June, they will not be the only airline to have folded.
- cycrutchfield 7y agoMost national flagship carriers will get bailed out, you can bet on that.
- onlyrealcuzzo 7y agoIs this something British people support? Or just something you see as inevitable?
- cycrutchfield 7y agoInevitable. At least in the US, the govt will certainly act to preserve the big 3.
