LONDON (AFP) — A small tour operator specialising in holidays in Turkey has ceased trading just days after the collapse of another group, XL Leisure, left 85,000 holidaymakers stranded, regulators said Sunday.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said K and S Travel ceased trading late Saturday, leaving 150 passengers in the Turkish beach resort of Bodrum requiring alternative flights home.

The London-based firm, which also trades as Travel Turkey, primarily organises package tours to Turkey with flights chartered through Onur Air.

Its collapse is a further headache for the CAA, which is in the midst of airlifting thousands of people affected by the collapse on Thursday of XL, Britain third largest holiday company.

Get your facts right love, Onur Air actually went into receivership 2 years ago and were being chartered by K&S.

Just collected some frinds from Larnaca Airport, the Cyprus Airways planes were easy to spot, They had hair under the wings :lol: :lol: :lol:

Judging by the reviews .... I give it another week :lol: (unless it's part of that money-losing collateral damage that Turkey is paying for :roll: )

You may be surprised at the price of BA flights from Gatwick to Paphos Lee. In August we paid £64 to go to Paphos and £142 to come back again. Had to use BA as we wanted 4 weeks and none of the charter companies could do it.
