Looking at this clip from BBC Watchdog, I'm not surprised. Not a great advert for hotels in Turkey either.

Hector. This was a tour operator selling cheap holidays, you get what you pay for. We have 2 holidays a year to Turkey 35 times in all and have never ever had to change Hotels or rooms, if you do your homework you get clean well run Hotels and the Turkish are spotlessly clean.

Martin (Hector): Do not believe all you read. No one who was on the ATOL bonded tours is liable to be left stranded by the CAA. There is no probs with Turkey the CAA seemingly had planes flying with passengers today. Greece was a little harder for them. This happened at 18.00 UK last night and before 21.00 the CAA were already on the case. Please look at the following extract from the CAA today:



Goldtrail Travel Ltd, trading as Goldtrail Holidays, Goldtrail Travel and Sunmar, held ATOL licence 4684 and was based in New Malden, Surrey. It operated flights and holiday packages from many UK airports to Turkey and Greece. It sold mainly through travel agents.

The CAA, under its ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licensing) scheme, is making arrangements for customers abroad to travel home at the end of their holidays.
