Thomas Cook
Thomas Cook Airlines (UK) Limited, was a British airline based in Manchester, England. It serves leisure destinations worldwide from its main bases at Manchester and Gatwick Airport. It also operates services from eight other bases around the United Kingdom.
Thomas Cook Airlines was part of the airline division of the Thomas Cook Group, which consisted of three more sister airlines, all of which had a joint fleet management: Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia, German based Condor and Thomas Cook Airlines Balearics. The airline held a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating License, permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats. It was formed by the rebranding of JMC Air in 2003. Following the merger of the MyTravel Group with Thomas Cook in 2008, Thomas Cook Airlines UK Ltd was merged with MyTravel Airways. One day it suddenly died.
Demise[edit]
“Never book with Thomas Cook”
The collapse of the firm left six hundred thousand travellers voyagers stranded on the Cook Islands, a tiny nation in the South Pacific with political links to New Zealand. The country is renowned for its snorkeling and scuba-diving sites.
Captain Cook is frantically working to build enough ships to bring these stranded voyagers home.
