Shares in Exeter-based Flybe have soared by more than a fifth after the owner of London Southend Airport said it was weighing a potential swoop for the regional airline.
Flybe - which operates daily to Jersey and Guernsey - was up 24% in afternoon trading on the London Stock Exchange, with Stobart Group eyeing a tie-up as it searches out "alternative structures" for its airline and leasing business.
Stobart Group, which spans infrastructure, energy and aviation, said one option was to take a "non-controlling interest in a vehicle to acquire 100% of Flybe".
However, it cautioned that there was no guarantee a firm offer will be made.

People who need or provide care in Cornwall are being asked for their views on proposed changes to three of the council's key adult social care policies.
Its draft "Usual Maximum Price and Inflation Policy" sets out the amount the council would normally pay suppliers for different types of social care services, such as supported living, residential care and respite.
The draft "Adult Social Care Charging Policy" deals with its approach to collecting contributions when relatives are asked to help pay for care, if the service user wishes to choose a more expensive provision.
When the consultation ends on 12 March, the three policies will be put before the cabinet for approval.
Rob Rotchell, Cornwall Council's cabinet member for adults said with more people relying on some form of social care, the proposed changes will help to develop a "fair and transparent" system of charging.
"We would like to know if the changes we are proposing to make to the policies are right... and would like to hear from anyone with an interest in care services," he said.
In Plymouth on Derriford Road near Research Way there are reports of an accident.

Officers have renewed an appeal for witnesses after a man died in a crash on the A30 10 days ago.
Robert Duval, 60, was killed when his car hit a lorry head-on at Upottery on 13 February.

Police are continuing to investigate the crash and would like any witnesses to come forward.
PC Lucy Tyler-Jones of the Serious Collisions Investigation Team said: “We are particularly appealing to the driver of a silver/metal tanker or tipper heavy goods lorry which was travelling towards Honiton in a line of lorries around the time of the incident.
“This vehicle was not directly involved in the collision, however, may have footage that would be helpful to our investigation.”
Anyone with information is being asked to contact Devon and Cornwall Police via 101.
