Stranded Thomas Cook Passengers
3 Answers
When a travel company goes bust, I never understand why the government looks around and books seats on loads of different airlines to bring holiday makers home, why not just use the aircraft and crews of the company themselves? Surely that would at worst cost just the same, and might even save some money.

Further, in some cases the airports where those aircraft are currently located will have the right to prevent them from taking off until the receiver/administrator has dealt with any unpaid landing fees or fuel bills. That could take many months.
