Holidaymakers that found themselves stuck in Turkey after the holiday group Goldtrail went into administration arrived back at the East Midlands airport yesterday. However, flights out of East Midlands Airport to Dalaman, Bodrum, and Corfu have all been cancelled.
Goldtrail was a package holiday operator that booked spaces for travellers on charter flights before it went into administration last Friday. This forced many holiday goers already in Turkey to stay a few extra nights.
Customers were given the option to fly into East Midlands Airport at 7:45 from Dalaman, at which point it returned to Turkey to pick up more passengers. From Bodrum a flight also departed at 8:30pm and then it also returned for more passengers.
Over 2,000 customers from across the nation that were scheduled to fly out of the UK over the weekend were affected, with about 16,00 Britons already abroad when the holiday group that specializes in Greece and Turkey travel went into administration.
The Civil Aviation Authority expected that most will be back in the UK by now, with an East Midlands Airport spokesman stating the extent will be clarified more as all companies involved in the crisis including travel agents, hotels, and airlines returned to work on Monday.
Customers with future travel plans with Goldtrail are first advised to contact their travel agent and not head to the airport until they have confirmed their accommodations and travel.
Authorities continued to reassure holiday goers that there are ways to claim back the money they may have lost booking with the company.
