Flybe

Flybe was a British regional airline founded in 1979, known for connecting smaller airports to major destinations. It primarily operated domestic flights within the UK and some international routes, focusing on providing affordable travel options for regional communities. The airline faced financial difficulties, leading to its first significant collapse in 2020, impacting many passengers and employees. Although there were plans for a revival, the airline's operations have been marked by challenges in the competitive aviation market. Flybe played a crucial role in enhancing connectivity for regions that might otherwise have limited air travel options.
