Appointment of liquidators
On 5 March 2020 Flybe Limited (company number 02769768) entered
administration. Alan Michael Hudson, Joanne Robinson, Lucy
Winterborne and Simon Jamie Edel of EY have been appointed as
joint administrators.
If you’ve been told that you are being made redundant, the
information in this section provides advice about claiming money
you’re owed and where you can seek support.
Who is eligible?
You can apply to the Insolvency Service for redundancy and other
payments if:
You cannot apply to the Insolvency Service if you live in
Northern Ireland. Find out about your rights in Northern Ireland
if your employer is insolvent.
How to apply
The Administrators will give you details about how to apply and
will also give you a case reference number (for example
CN12345678).
Once you have this information you can apply online.
What you can apply for
What you can apply for depends on your circumstances. The
Insolvency Service can pay:
- redundancy pay: if you’ve worked for Flybe for at least 2
years
- pro rata holiday pay (known as ‘holiday pay accrued’): the
leave you were entitled to take between the start of your leave
year and the date you were made redundant. If you have already
taken the leave you are entitled to, you will not be due a
holiday pay accrued (HPA) payment
- holiday pay taken (HPT): if Flybe hasn’t paid you for annual
leave you took before being made redundant
- money you’re owed by Flybe, for example unpaid wages,
overtime and commission
- statutory notice pay: if you’ve worked for Flybe for at least
1 month
There are caps on what we can pay you for each type of
claim. Find out how much we can
pay you.
We process and pay holiday pay taken and holiday pay accrued
payments separately, so you may receive 2 separate letters at
different times about these payments.
Paying your claim
On average the Insolvency Service’s redundancy payments service
pays 95% of redundancy and related claims within 6 weeks.
Special arrangements are being put in place to pay sooner if
practicable to do so.
