Been in trouble for years, but seems they have finally gone.

Regional airline Flybe cancels all flights - BBC News

The airline ceases trading and tells passengers expecting to travel with it not to go to the airport.

Quite a blow for regional connections.

They were environmentally appalling, but often half the price of the train and significantly more reliable too.

I used to use them a lot when work involved being in different bits of the country on different days. You can be left stranded on one wind and rain swept train station platform too many.
