Exclusive​: Flybmi Set To Collapse

Posted on February 16, 2019

Amid ongoing financial difficulty, Flybmi’s sole owner, Airline Investments Limited has
initiated preparations for a potential collapse
as soon as tomorrow — if extra funding is not secured over the coming hours.

The carrier currently operates a fleet of four Embraer ERJ-135 and 15 ERJ-145 jets.

This afternoon’s most recent ex-UK departure was cancelled between Bristol and Munich, and Flybmi airline jets based in Brussels positioned back to Bristol on Friday night, and Saturday morning.

In addition, two aircraft based in Munich, and one based in Karlstad have positioned to Norwich — home to an aircraft storage facility. Another two Embraer jets based in Munich will position to the UK this afternoon.

Flybmi crew who were rostered on weekend ‘night-stops’ have been flown back to the UK, and while crew wait to hear the future of the airline, their rostered flights have been replaced by ‘home standby’.
