London: In what could be a blow to over four lakh air travelers, the UK’s low-cost carrier Monarch Airlines on Monday announced cancellation of its services, forcing the government to launch one of the biggest peace time repatriation operations to bring back nearly 110,000 passengers stranded abroad.
The country’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it had been asked by the government to charter more than 30 aircraft to bring home stranded passengers after all Monarch flights were cancelled, affecting as many as 300,000 future bookings.
The airlines went into administration in the early hours of Monday, with KPMG being appointed to oversee the financial chaos.
