In the wake of Flybe going into administration, local authorities and partners have joined forces to support Flybe staff affected by the announcement.
Devon County Council, Exeter City Council, East Devon District Council, Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership (HotSW LEP), Exeter College and Exeter Airport are leading an urgent response group.
Flybe is estimated to be worth around £98.5 million to the local economy and provided around 1,000 jobs directly in the Exeter and East Devon area with a further 620 jobs supported by the business.
A jobs fair is being held in Exeter to support those affected by the collapse of city-based airline Flybe.
The event is being held on Tuesday (10 March) at Exeter Corn Exchange and has been organised by Exeter City Council following Flybe going into administration.
Everyone is welcome to attend – not just former employees of Flybe - and can turn up on the day. The Council is also looking for more employers to come along to the event.
A number of big companies and recruitment agencies have already booked a place at the jobs fair, including BT, the NHS and Screwfix....

Opa Restaurant in South Street is just an amazing venue.
Having lived in Naxos in the Cyclades in the past I wanted to have my 65th birthday party somewhere that reminded me of beautiful Greece.
This is the place!
The evening was absolutely amazing and the 25 family and friends who were with me thoroughly loved it and plan to go back.
The Meze for £20 per person was such amazing value for money as there was just so much food nobody could finish it (they happily give you a box to take some home).
The vast array of starters were so tasty and then the...
