The collapse of British regional airline flybmi over higher fuel prices and Brexit uncertainty has forced stranded passengers across Europe to fend for themselves, without the prospect of help from the U.K. government.
U.K. student Mary Ward was in Brussels waiting for a flight to Newscastle on Saturday when she received the airline’s text that said all flights had been canceled, and was directed to the airline’s website, according to an account on the BBC.
