The company filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator on Monday after several flights were cancelled, including between Teesside and Aberdeen. The airline has operated across the UK, Ireland and Europe, and runs services supported by the Scottish government for people in the northernmost point of mainland UK. The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) confirmed the airline has suspended operations and all of its flights had been cancelled. A notice to appoint administrators is a formal step that gives the business up to 10 days of legal protection from creditors while it explores rescue options, restructures, or prepares for insolvency proceedings. Airport flight departure boards showed Eastern Airways flights had been cancelled, including a 07:00 GMT flight from Newquay to London Gatwick, 18:15 flight from Teesside to Aberdeen, 14:30 from Aberdeen to Wick and 16:45 from Aberdeen to Teesside.
