In a trading update the carrier predicted that closures to airports and flight cancellations across the UK and Europe caused by “extremely poor weather” would impact its full-year financial results.
Flybe had to axe 994 flights due to weather in Q4 compared to 372 during the same three month period to March 31 last year.
The airline said that as a result “we anticipate this to have an impact of around £4m from lost revenue and additional care and assistance costs on cancelled and delayed flights.
“Coming so late in the financial year means that this added loss will be reflected in our full year financial results.”
