Aer Lingus halts most regional flights after Stobart Air collapse – new flights announced


One of Aer Lingus’ operators Stobart Air collapsed on Friday night, throwing regional flights into chaos this weekend.

The Irish airline was forced to cancel several flights from Dublin and Belfast City airports.

The travel industry blow has also impacted Leeds Bradford Airport after flights operated by Stobart Air between Belfast and Leeds were cancelled.

“All impacted customers also have the option of a full refund.”

There has been some concern that hundreds of jobs could be lost as a result of Stobart Air’s liquidation.

A spokesperson for Stobart Air said: “It is with great regret and sadness that Stobart Air can confirm that the board is in the process of appointing a liquidator to the business and the airline is to cease operations with immediate effect.

“Stobart Air apologises to all its customers for the inconvenience caused at short notice.

Aer Lingus has shared new flight times on their website for the next few days.
