Flew out with them this year and they were fine. Gin cheaper than duty free  :)

Certainly picked their game up over the last year or two. Have no complaints and without them, those of us who use them throughout the year albeit at times via Antalya they would be a big loss.

Thomas Cook shares tumbled further on Tuesday and the cost of insuring debt issued by the travel firm against default hit a record high, despite its efforts to reassure investors over its worsening performance and £389m debt mountain.

We don't use them at all now, haven't for many years but I would hate to see another airline go down the tubes.
Their service this summer seemed to be abysmal, upwards of 20 hour delays in some cases, which certainly hasn't done them any favours.
Fingers crossed they ride the storm

A buyer is better than bankruptcy - fingers crossed; it would be devastating to lose another carrier to Turkey, especially after Monarch  :'(

I agree Nichola. Here in Leeds one of the largest cities in Britain with a large catchment area have only one operator to Turkey!! i.e Jet 2, previously we had Monarch and TC. with the obvious consequent now of huge price rises.

Totally agree Nichola I do hope they get a buyer if we lose Tommy Cook we will have from our airport Easyjet, Thompson ( normally really expensive) BA some months of the year I think thats it for direct carriers 😌
