Flybe's iconic purple and white fleets have littered runways across the UK for almost two decades, but today (5 March) the short haul airline has officially ceased trading and has gone into liquidation.
The company - originally named Jersey European Airways - rebranded to Flybe in 2002.

But Flybe was the main airline for several UK airports (especially those connecting UK islands to the mainland), and ran connection flights for larger international airlines, such as Ethiad, Emirates, British Airways, and Air France.
Main Flybe airports
Manchester, Birmingham, and Exeter Airports were Flybe's main hubs, but the airport with the highest percentage of Flybe flights was Anglesey Airport in Wales, with 100 per cent of its flights running through Flybe, according to the BBC.
Up to 70 per cent of Exeter's flights were provided by Flybe, with 30 per cent of all flights coming out of Birmingham run by the now collapsed airline.

In January, the UK government was setting up a protection package to protect Flybe from going under. It has claimed that strain on the airline industry due to the ongoing outbreak of Coronavirus has finally tipped the already weak company into liquidation.

Talking to the BBC, Brian Ambrose, Belfast City Chief Executive said, "The airline was a significant economic driver for the region, carrying 1.6 million passengers to and from Belfast in 2019.
"I'm confident that within the next days and weeks we will be announcing backfill on a number of those routes and it's a matter of how quickly airlines can get aircraft available."
