Administrators for collapsed airline Flybe have applied for a temporary operating licence, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has announced. This would give the administrators from Interpath the chance to put the regional carrier on a firm footing, but flights would not initially resume.
It is the first time the CAA has received an application for a temporary licence from a failed airline. A spokesman for the regulator said: “Flybe’s administrators have applied for a temporary operator’s licence.
“If approved, it would allow the administrators to start the process of restructuring the business. The UK Civil Aviation Authority has not yet made a decision on whether to grant a temporary licence.
