The collapse of Turkey specialist operator ScotTravel has left around 1,500 holidaymakers abroad.
The Scottish company operated an accommodation-only programme, which is not financially protected under the law
It also ran a package tour programme protected under the Civil Aviation Authority’s ATOL protection scheme.
Package holiday claims will be handled by the CAA
But customers with accommodation-only bookings are being advised to contact their travel agent for help or ABTA’s claims handling partner on 01243 621500.
Scottravel, based in Main Street, Mossend, Bellshill, near Glasgow, also traded as ScotTravel Holidays.
It failed yesterday (Thursday) after being unable to meet its liabilities.
A statement on the company’s website said: "We regret to inform you that as from 4 June 2009 ScotTravel Holidays has ceased trading.
"Any customers with enquiries should refer to the CAA website at www.caa.co.uk. For any forward departures passengers should not make their way to the airport."
