Britain “stands ready” to support regional airports after the collapse of airline Flybe on Thursday, Kelly Tolhurst, a junior minister with responsibility for aviation, told parliament, APA reports citing Reuters.
“We recognise the impact that this will have on UK airports particularly those which have large-scale Flybe operations. Government stands ready to support this sector,” she said.
“We are urgently working with industry to identify opportunities to fill routes,” she added.
While she expressed sympathy for employees and passengers affected by the collapse, she said that in a competitive market, companies do fail and it was not the role of government to prop them up.
