AXA Cover Directive – Flybe Liquidation
On 05/03/2020, Flybe ceased to operate.
Flybe, which operated regional services from airports across the United Kingdom, has entered administration.
All Flybe flights, and those operated by Stobart Air, are cancelled. Therefore, please do not go to the airport as your flight will not be operating.
Flybe customers are therefore urged to make their own alternative travel arrangements via other airlines, rail or coach operators.
For flights operated by Flybe franchise partners (Eastern Airways, and Blue Islands) passengers should make contact with that airline to confirm their travel arrangements.
Flybe do not have ATOL protection for flight only bookings however If customers have booked a trip that includes flights and hotels with a travel firm that holds an ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) and received confirmation that you are ATOL protected, the travel firm is responsible for the flight arrangements and must either make alternative flights available for you so that your trip can continue or provide a full refund. If you are abroad, it should make arrangements to bring you home at the end of your trip. Contact the ATOL travel firm for more information.
Please make customers aware that no claim will be considered until they have attempted to recover their costs from any providers and also their credit or debit card provider.
The following cover may be available under the policy.

FAQ’s
Q- I am due to fly with Flybe, either on a trip or home, am I covered?
A- CAA have advised that customers should not travel to the airport unless they have arranged an alternative flight with another airline. If you have booked a package firm that holds ATOL certification you should speak with the travel firm who will assist in arranging an alternative. If you have booked flight only you will need to arrange your own alternative flight, train or coach for your journey.

Customer Testimonial
"- Jamie , WCHC Customer, DevonNo-one has ever explained so compellingly the reasons why most cut-price insurance isn’t worth investing in. Susie helped me appreciate how important it is to get the right level of cover to know my family’s future is protected. She led me through the purchase process and I felt I had the best deal available on the market. Even though I asked for many rounds of requotes, I never felt any pressure to buy and she gave us the same care and attention no matter how many queries we made. First class service."
