Customers lose as airline folds

– British airline Flybmi, which operated 17 aircraft on routes to 25 European cities, said on Saturday it had ceased operations and had filed for administration, blaming spikes in fuel and carbon costs and Brexit uncertainty.

Parent company British Midland Regional Limited said it had cancelled all flights with immediate effect, and would not be able to purchase, rearrange or reschedule any bookings on behalf of customers. – AFP
