    Caught Simon Calder on BBC news this morning. His take on the failure of FlyBMI was that routinely its flights were less than 1/2 full. Something was seriously wrong with their business model.
    I do feel sorry for those that have difficulty getting home now, but the young woman apparently trapped in Brussels isn't trying very hard to find alternatives.

    And every remain voter who feels the need to blame everything on Brexit ought to be ashamed of themselves.

    Airlines all over the world fail totally or go into receivership then administration on a regular basis, something that's been going on long before Brexit was even thought of and will continue to happen long after Brexit has been carried out or forgotten about.

    It's great to have your business insight on this forum. We salute you. Whilst you relish in the faux glory, you could put your fingers to work googling news articles on the likes of oversupply in European airlines, particularly short-haul, which has seen a number of airlines fail and others negatively impacted.
