Travel firm Kiss Flights has gone out of business leaving 60,000 customers scrambling to salvage their holidays.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said around 1,500 Kiss customers were able to take flights but these are only operating up to 6pm on Wednesday 18th August, with around 60,000 people with forward bookings trying to arrange alternative flights. Another 13,000 British tourists already abroad on Kiss arranged trips will be able to carry on with their holidays, the CAA said.
A CAA spokesman said: "We've arranged for about 1,500 Kiss Flights-booked people to get away on flights to the Mediterranean today.
"People due to fly after 6pm today can either seek compensation or go to travel agents and see if they can get an alternative flight."
The spokesman went on: "Those already abroad are carrying on with their holidays and we should be able to get them back on their planned flight without having to charter flights."
