Trade unions voice concerns over Flybe potential sale

Trade unions have voiced their concerns following the announcement that Flybe is to put itself up for sale.

The airline that provides islanders with inter-island links as well as routes to the UK says it is in talks with a number of "strategic operators" about a potential sale.

Flybe recently issued a profit warning due to falling demand, a £29 million hit from rising fuel costs and the weak pound.

Representatives from trade unions Unite and Prospect, which both operate in the Channel Islands, and the British Airline Pilots' Association have issued these statements.
