Passengers on board a flight to Exeter Airport have been told they won’t be flying leading to further fears troubled airline Flybe is about to go bust.

Devon Live has been told tonight that a flight bound for Exeter has been grounded.

One of those on board the plane currently sat on the runway at Manchester Airport is Phil Hoult.

Phil, who lives in Exeter, said: “I’m stuck on a plane at Manchester Airport. The captain has told us we won’t be flying anywhere and I think we’re going to be kicked out with nowhere to go.

“We think it’s because of Flybe not being able to pay the airport fees but there’s no regard for any passengers.

“The flight is full and it’s very hot. It’s not good and nobody knows what’s going to happen.”

'Has FlyBe just ceased operating in front of my eyes?' Passengers are turned away as flights are cancelled and 'planes impounded at airports'

They are just shorters feeding on your fear.

Be strong.

Please do your own research as always.

Anyway i believe the Fed and Dow performance tonight is giving us another chance to bail out because this is going to turn very ugly if a solution to the outbreak is not found soon.

[dround87] 04/3/2020 20:46

Good! I'm counting on it! I have plenty of dry powder. Let it lose another third!
