The collapse of Stobart Air, which provided regional airline services to Aer Lingus on Saturday is a devastating blow and should serve as a major wake-up call to policymakers.
In a shock statement, the airline confirmed that it was moving to appoint liquidators to the company and that all scheduled flights were cancelled with immediate effect, all aircraft are grounded, and all 480 staff are now unemployed.
