The homeworking giant said free advice was available from its career management guide to those wishing to continue their careers in travel, potentially as agents, as well as webinars and consultations on a non-committal basis.

Matt Harding, Travel Counsellors head of franchise sales and training, said the collapse of Flybe was sad news for its customers, as well as the around 270 staff made redundant as a result.

“We are also on hand to offer support to any of the Flybe staff, who have been made redundant, and advice can be found in our comprehensive career management guide that discusses career options, planning and the job market," said Harding.
