BBC Business NewsFlybmi's announcement that it had collapsed summed up the airline industry's woes: fuel costs, green taxes, Brexit uncertainty, falling passenger numbers.
It might have added fierce competition, but that is probably a statement of the obvious.
Several European airlines have folded or hit financial trouble during the past two years. Britain's Monarch collapsed in October 2017, while Germany's Germania filed for insolvency earlier this month.
Air Berlin and Alitalia went bust, although the latter was propped up by the Italian government.

Travel expert Simon Calder went to the heart of the problem when he told the BBC that the airline industry's problem is: "There are simply too many seats and not enough people."
According to the International Air Transport Association, the number of flights in Europe has risen more than 40% compared with a decade ago. At the same time, though, fares have fallen, squeezing margins and reducing financial room for manoeuvre.
So, will there be more airline failures? "Yes, I think definitely," says Ascend Consultancy analyst Peter Morris.

New footbridge to replace 'missing link' pavementpublished at 14:56 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2019
Eddie Bisknell
Local Democracy ReporterDerbyshire County Council is to spend £100,000 on a new footbridge to prevent people from having to walk along a fast and busy road.
The authority has pledged its support to the scheme after 276 residents called for further safety measures on the A515 near Fenny Bentley, north of Ashbourne.
Image source, GoogleThe petitioners had asked for a pedestrian-only bridge over the Bentley Brook, next to where the A515 crosses the stream on a road bridge.
At the moment, pedestrians are having to walk for 45m across the road bridge with the risk of being hit by vehicles, due to a "missing link" of pavement.
Work on the footbridge could start this either this summer or in the summer of 2020, depending on any planning or environmental issues that might crop up.
