This is a real shame, I have flown with them several times over the years and thought they were a great little airline. This is a huge loss to regional UK airports. Plus in a country with such outrageous train ticket prices it was usually cheaper to fly than take the train. Flying Southampton to Manchester for example was usually about 70GBP when the train would be over 100.
