Flybe administration LIVE: Passengers told not to travel to airports as rail operators offer free tickets to those stranded

Flybe passengers are being told not to travel to airports after the airline collapsed into administration.

Some rail operators are offering those who were due to fly with the carrier free travel - although it has not yet been confirmed if all train companies will be taking part.

All Flybe flights and those operated by sister airline Stobart Air have been cancelled, and the Civil Aviation Authority has not been instructed by the government to rescue stranded passengers.
