You're missing the point somewhat.
They'll still be fine - they'd just need to head down to Gatwick instead of across to Heathrow.
The actual issue would be the loss of connectivity through Heathrow for ongoing travel.

interesting aside, apparently the iar tax gets paid where you first depart from. when transfering onward, no duty is paid. seems like the wholeair duty is pants.

Cant say that i really consider it elitist having the opportunity to upgrade your seat.
South African Airways is the latest airline in big trouble - trying to sell off planes to service debt.

Gone.
BA have 4-5 flights a day from Gatwick - Jersey and Aurigny have the LGW - Guernsey route (2-3 times daily)
What about up north? Midlands? Scotland?
If the demand is there the routes will be taken up by others.......
By who? With what planes?
Actually I suspect this is a pre planned admin and no doubt the same directors will restart FlyBeNewCo by the end of the week debt free
Yep......or Branson or someone like him will step in and buy it for peanuts......

Flybe was acquired by Connect Airways, which is owned by Virgin Atlantic and its partners Stobart Group and Cyrus Capital - doubt it
In related news: one thing I won't be doing is booking a Norwegian flight unless it was for the next week or two.
Given their recent financial woes, a dip in bookings could hit them hard, even if they had seemingly turned a corner of late.

New York City flights booked with them for this summer.All airlines will shirley have a huge dip with the virus. Simon Calder said already there are holiday bargains appearing, whilst Easyjet and others are cancelling entire routes.
Hopefully the Norwegian government steps in. Instead of having national debt, they have a US$1T sovereign wealth fund.
