Flybe bookings hit by coronavirus fears

Warning airline could collapse 'within days'

Flybe has warned the UK government it could collapse within days, after a slump in bookings triggered by the coronavirus.

Sky News is reporting that Flybe has renewed a plea for ministers to provide emergency financial support, even as ongoing talks about a state loan on commercial terms appear to have been rejected.

Almost 50% of flights into and out of the Isle of Man are operated by Flybe.
