Yes could be the case
[Flybe was pushed into administration
in March 2020 with the loss of 2,400 jobs
as the Covid-19 pandemic destroyed
large parts of the travel market.
It then returned to the skies with a plan
to operate up to 530 flights
a week across 23 routes,
serving airports such as Belfast City,
Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow,
Heathrow and Leeds Bradford.
Before it went bust it flew the most UK
domestic routes between airports
outside London.
Its business and assets were purchased
in April 2021 by Thyme Opco,
which is linked to US hedge fund
Cyrus Capital.
Thyme Opco was renamed Flybe Limited,
based at Birmingham Airport.]
