Pure Flights fails with 300 abroad

Monday, 01 Sep, 2008 0

ABTA member operator Pure Flights has folded with 300 holidaymakers abroad and 1,000 forward bookings.

The Crawley-based charter flights company, which also used the trading name Pure Holidays, ceased trading on Friday. 

Pure Flights operated charter flights from UK airports to destinations in the eastern Mediterranean including Turkey and Crete.  It sold flights mainly through travel agents.

The CAA, under its ATOL scheme, is making arrangements for an estimated 300 holidaymakers currently abroad to fly back to the UK as planned. 

“Customers with advance bookings will not be able to travel with Pure Flights but should make a claim for a refund of their lost flights,” the CAA said. 

The CAA estimated that 1,000 customers held advance bookings.

ABTA said that any retail claims arising from the failure will be handled by CEGA, the assoication’s claims handling partner.
