Links Air (Humberside) is set to go into liquidation weeks after it was forced to suspend operations. Yorkshire-based insolvency practitioners Redman Nichols Butler have confirmed that the airline's management has called a meeting with creditors in Driffield, East Yorkshire on April 1 to appoint a liquidator and a liquidation committee.

"At the meeting a report will be presented on behalf of the chairman of the meeting which will outline the history of the company and the reasons for insolvency," the firm said in a statement.

LinksAir was forced to suspend operations in October last year after the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UKCAA) expressed serious concerns about the airline's safety protocols. While it was able to resume operations thereafter, it abruptly ended its Welsh government-subsidized Cardiff-Anglesey service in late January of this year.

Founded in 2009, Links Air had operated two Jetstream 31s - G-JIBO (cn 711) and G-LNKS (cn 772).
