\n Royal Air Philippines is a budget airline based in the Philippines, which first began operations in 2018.\n<\/p>\n
\n It operates domestic flights in the Philippines and international flights to other Asian countries, including:\n<\/p>\n
Cambodia<\/p>\n
China<\/p>\n
Hong Kong<\/p>\n
Macau<\/p>\n
South Korea<\/p>\n
Taiwan<\/p>\n
\n Royal Air Philippines started as a charter airline, named Royal Air Charter Service, in 2002, before receiving a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Civil Aeronautics Board in 2017, allowing it to offer regular commercial flights (which launched in 2018).\n<\/p>\n
\n “By 2020, the airline had expanded its fleet with the introduction of Airbus A319\/A320 jets – this allowed the airline to carry more passengers and offer long-haul routes,” Alternative Airlines added.\n<\/p>\n
Royal Air Philippines enters administration with 4,000 flights cancelled<\/p>\n
\n But Royal Air Philippines has now fallen into administration, with around 4,000 flights between January and March (2026) cancelled as a result.\n<\/p>\n
\n The airline is currently working to provide affected passengers with refunds, according to the Daily Express.\n<\/p>\n
\n The airline’s website previously read: “We are working on providing refunds and hope to resume flights at an unspecified date in the future.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Thank you for your patience and understanding. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you aboard soon.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Access to the Royal Air Philippines website is no longer available, with those trying to access the website greeted with a “ready when you are” message, with a type of ‘loading’ spinning circle.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n The failure of Royal Air Philippines is believed to be a result of decreased flight numbers in recent years, Philstar Global said.\n<\/p>\n
\n It added: “Royal Air showed signs of partial recovery in 2023 and 2024, when it flew 100,323 and 116,324 international passengers, respectively.\n<\/p>\n
\n “However, the carrier ferried just 51,764 in the nine months to September 2025, signaling a slowdown.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The picture is worse on the domestic front, where Royal Air posted a 63 percent dip in passenger traffic to 38,845 in 2024, from 104,473 in 2023.”\n<\/p>\n
UK airlines that have entered liquidation recently<\/p>\n
\n Royal Air Philippines is not the only airline forced to shut down operations, with several UK airlines also entering liquidation recently.\n<\/p>\n
\n EcoJet Airlines, billed as “the world\u2019s first Electric Airline”, entered liquidation in February after just three years, resulting in the cancellation of all planned flights.\n<\/p>\n
\n Three other UK airlines entered liquidation in 2025, according to the UK Civil Aviation Authority:\n<\/p>\n
Blue Islands Limited (November)<\/p>\n
Air Kilroe Limited t\/a Eastern Airways (November)<\/p>\n
Play Airlines (September)<\/p>\n
\n Meanwhile, four UK travel companies have also ceased trading in 2026, resulting in the cancellation of flights and holiday packages to destinations around the world.\n<\/p>\n
\n The four UK travel companies that have closed down in 2026 (so far) are:\n<\/p>\n
Regen Central Ltd<\/p>\n
Gold Crest Holidays<\/p>\n
Asiara UK Ltd<\/p>\n
Simply Florida Travel Ltd<\/p>\n
\n All four have ceased trading, according to Companies House, and have lost their Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL).\n<\/p>\n
