Regional airline Eastern Airways, which has headquarters at Humberside Airport in North Lincolnshire, has filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator and has suspended all operations. 

Mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, Dame Andrea Jenkyns, said: “This is deeply disappointing news and our foremost concern, as the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority, is to ensure robust support for those impacted. We are actively collaborating with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and local councils to assist individuals facing potential redundancy and to help them transition into new employment opportunities.

“We recognise the impact this will have on employees, passengers and regional connectivity and are committed to providing coordinated support throughout this challenging time.”

In addition to operating at Humberside, Eastern Airways had been operating at several UK airports including Aberdeen, Humberside, London Gatwick, Newquay, Teesside and Wick
