Almost all of Blue Island’s staff have been made redundant following the airline’s collapse last week.

Ernst & Young have been appointed as liquidators and have retained 12 out of 100 people on the payroll in order to wind down the company.

Some, such as CFO Ronnie Matherson, have already found work with other airlines. Rival operator Loganair’s CEO Luke Farajalla has stated that he would be looking to hire ex-Blue Islands staff in order to take over some of the routes previously operated by the stricken airline.

However, it has been a tough few weeks for everyone involved with UK regional airlines. On November 7th, Humberside-based Eastern Airways filed for administration with the loss of nearly 300 jobs.

Anyone with a claim against Blue Islands is asked to contact the joint liquidators:
