Over 60,000 travellers are at risk of their holiday plans getting ruined or at least disrupted after Kiss Flights collapsed.

A large percentage of travellers affected by the dissolution will get a refund according to the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority), but for the moment it is not likely they will see any cash.

The CAA also stated that 13,000 people that are already on a holiday that was booked with Kiss Flights will be able to return from their destinations as slated.

Those that left the UK before 6pm Thursday will be able to continue with their trips as planned for the most part although there may be a few routes that are affected.

However, another thousand who have future holiday packages booked will be left with nothing until refunds are eventually issued.

Kiss Flights was a British firm that operated flights to the Canary Islands, Egypt, Greece, and Turkey and folded after trading stopped on Tuesday night.

Owner of the company, Flight Options, chief executive Gary Ash remarked that he was devastated to see the flight company collapse and offered late holiday bookings this year as one reason that affected the airline agent as well as the disruption by the volcano ash cloud.

Ash continued to state that the travel market was hard for the past nine months and it has been difficult to deal after the effect of the volcanic ash cloud.  He also made reference to the fact that when banks were failing the government stepped in to help out, but no such extension was offered to tour operators.
