Another Low Blow For Airlines
It would seem that the airline industry has once again taken a low blow and no I am not even talking about the strike that nearly put six of the UK airports in closure for a few days. this time it is about the travel company Kiss Flights and it comes as they are ceased to trade, truly terrible news and not something that people really wanted to happen. So how has this happened and what are the people that have already booked with them going to do now?
How It Happened
The main reason it would seem that this company has fallen victim to losing out is because of the ash cloud earlier in the year. Now this had a massive effect on the bigger aviation companies like Virgin and BA can you even imagine the kinds of effects it had on the smaller companies that rely on the flights they have to get by each year. Because the cloud hung around for such a long time it meant that companies like this were falling into debt very quickly indeed and it is very hard to recover from something like this if you are a small company.
What Can People Do
Besides going to something like Torquay hotels or a nice spa breaks If you have booked through this company already you should be protected through ATOL so in actual fact you might and should be able to get your money back which is always good, if you are already on holiday the travel authorities have promised to fly you back on time so do not worry about coming back early. Although it might be too late to rebook flights now it could be the perfect time to do that work on the house or because book one of those Christmas holidays in advance.
I am sure it is all going to turn out fine for you!
