Q I wasn’t caught up in the Flybe mass cancellations yesterday, but I do have a couple of forward bookings with the airline for trips from Belfast. Should I be looking for alternative flights?

A The UK’s biggest regional airline has been having a torrid time. It went into the winter predicting losses of £7,000 an hour, and asking to be rescued. As other airlines perished, such as its smaller rival, Flybmi, a buyer came forward – a consortium of Virgin Atlantic, Stobart Air and a US hedge fund.
