UK regional airline Eastern Airways has cancelled all scheduled flights and suspended all operations, Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has confirmed. Eastern operated commercial and charter flights from six UK airports – London Gatwick, Humberside, Teesside International, Aberdeen, Newquay and Wick. The airline has filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator to the business. CAA consumer and markets director, Selina Chadha, said: “We urge passengers planning to fly with this airline not to go to the airport as all Eastern Airways flights are cancelled.” The UK’s largest regional carrier, Loganair has announced a number of rescue flights – across the UK – for stranded customers of Eastern.
