Sadly another operator has ceased trading, with the long expected demise of Thomas Cook overnight.
The CAA have put into place "Operation Matterhorn" using up to 45 chartered jets (which would be the 5th largest UK airline if a proper entity), ranging from a Malaysian A380 down to seats on existing routes.
Our sympathies go out to the thousands of employees thrown out of work and those whose holiday plans have been wrecked.
As well as the UK operation, flights by Thomas Cook Scandinavia have been cancelled today, although Condor, the German side of the operation, were operating normally today.
