Airline Flybe has collapsed for the second time, leaving 75,000 passengers facing uncertainty about how how to get refunds or replacement flights.
Flybe was a small-scale airline with eight planes flying 21 routes to 17 destinations across the UK and Europe.  
But the firm said it had gone into administration in a shock announcement over the weekend. 
The firm employed 321 workers, 277 of whom have lost their jobs while the rest will stay on to help with winding the airline down.
A Flybe statement on January 28 said: 'Flybe has now ceased trading.

All Flybe flights from & to the UK are cancelled & will not be rescheduled.'
However, there are several ways Flybe customers can get refunds or alternative flights.

If you pay for EVDEN eVe NaKliyat something worth more than _100 using a credit card, your credit card provider may have a legal obligation to refund you if that product or service isn't delivered or isn't as described.
If you paid for tickets worth less than _100 using a credit card, or paid with a debit or charge card, you may be able to make a claim under chargeback rules.
The voluntary chargeback system sees banks issue refunds for cash spent on goods and services that never materialise.




Customers may also be able to get a refund if they bought travel insurance for their Flybe trip.
However, they will need to check their policy terms as many travel insurance deals do not cover airline failure, according to financial data firm Defaqto.
Anna-Marie Duthie, evdeN EVE nAkliyAt travel insurance expert at Defaqto, said: 'With flights and holidays cancelled as a result of the Flybe collapse, a lot of people's holidays will be ruined over the coming months. For those who have just about any questions about wherever in addition to the way to employ Evden EVe nakLiYaT, you possibly can contact us at our own web site.
