Second travel company bust

A second British tour operator has gone bust days after the collapse of XL Leisure sent the travel industry into turmoil.



The north London-based firm primarily organises package tours to Turkey through flights chartered through Onur Air.



The CAA said holidaymakers were covered by the Atol protection scheme, and that it was rechartering planes from Onur to ensure that disruption was kept to a minimum.



A spokesman for the regulator said: "We will be organising for those people affected to complete their holiday as planned and come back to the UK as planned."



But it will prove a further headache, coming at a time when the CAA is in the process of airlifting thousands of people affected by XL's collapse.



It will also mean that 460 people who have future holidays booked through K&S will see their travel plans dashed.



They will be entitled to a full refund through the Atol scheme, the CAA said.

I have heard this news also. For the last two years my sister and me have booked our holidays to Turkey with this company. I chose it as it was only across the road from the place where I worked. We always had good holidays. I know that people will be brought back but its the headache for them not knowing when. K & S wont be the last unfortunately.
