About Flybe

Flybe is Europe’s largest regional airline, and it operates the most domestic flights within the UK. This low-cost airline hits 62 destinations across the continent and in 2018 was one of the least delayed airlines, perhaps because it flies to predominantly smaller airports. This airline is nevertheless subject to a large amount of cancellations. It also suffers from some long delays, like all airlines.
