Another Turkey specialist fails

Friday, 18 Sep, 2007 0

Turkey specialist Perfect Choice has ceased trading.

Based in Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey, the company operated flights and package holidays to Turkey from major UK airports.

There are around 500 holidaymakers currently abroad and a further 1,250 with forward bookings.

The firm held an ATOL licence providing a £486,283 bond.

The CAA is currently making arrangements for customers abroad to complete their holidays and return to the UK, and to refund fully those with forward bookings.

Perfect Choice is the second Turkey specialist to collapse this month.

Kent-based Turkey specialist Fly Brits also ceased trading, with around 200 holidaymakers abroad and 250 with forward bookings.

The company, based in Beckenham, Kent, also traded as ‘Fly Brits’, ‘Air Brits’, ‘Holiday Brits’ and ‘Late Brits’.

It provided a £758,000 bond.
