You’ve got it all wrong, it’s incompetent management / diesel / they’ve been running losses for years, etc.
In other unrelated news, record numbers of mismanaged businesses are going to the wall or moving HQs to the EU in the past two years. Absolutely nothing to do with Brexit though.Comment

Yeah, bound to have been due to the Brexit vote years later.Flybmi was previously part of iconic UK airline brand British Midland International (BMI). In November 2009 Lufthansa became the sole shareholder of British Midland Airlines Ltd via a British holding company. The German flag carrier airline carried out extensive restructuring in an attempt to bring Flybmi to profitability—but this was never achieved.
Overcapacity in the European aviation sector has resulted in the demise of airline operators such as Monarch Airlines, who were present in both the low-cost airline market and the leisure airline market — while failing to be a market leader in either. The airline faced fierce competition from both sides and collapsed amid its flawed strategy.
Winter is also a difficult time for European airlines, given the lower demand but continuing high costs.
Those damned Brexiteer Froggies!!A sharp increase in Air Traffic Control strikes across Europe also wreaked havoc on airlines in 2018, and it was categorically one of the worst years in history for Air Traffic Control strikes across the continent, but predominantly in France.
Oh dear....is that a bit of a smoking gun?The airline has faced several difficulties, including recent spikes in fuel and carbon costs, the latter arising from the EU's recent decision to exclude UK airlines from full participation in the Emissions Trading Scheme.
"These issues have undermined efforts to move the airline into profit."
But when you boil it all down, all of these factors are of minor import when the real root cause is down to "Brexit". The good old go-to default position for everything in modern day Britain.
