The regional carrier ceased operations, cancelled all flights and filed for administration on Saturday (February 16), citing Brexit and spiralling fuel costs.

BDO has been appointed administrator and confirmed the majority of the 376 people employed by Flybmi would be made redundant.

Loganair, which is owned by the same holding company – Airline Investments – that controlled Flybmi, has stepped in to safeguard the failed carrier’s Aberdeen and Newcastle routes, starting next month.

EasyJet and Ryanair were among the first to announce rescue fares for passengers affected by the demise of Flybmi.

Ryanair is offering Flybmi passengers discounted fares between Belfast and London City and Milan Bergamo and Nuremberg.

EasyJet, meanwhile, is offering special fares for Flybmi customers on its Bristol and Paris Charles de Gaulle.

Now British Airways has pledged to help by offering rescue fares on London routes to Aberdeen, Brussels, Paris, Dusseldorf, Billund, Frankfurt, Belfast, Munich, Newcastle and Oslo.

Fares are valid until March 3.
