INFORMATION FOR MONARCH PASSENGERS
2 October 2017
CAA launches flying
programme to bring 110,000 customers back to UK in response to Monarch Airlines
administration
· Monarch Airlines has
ceased trading with immediate effect, leaving 110,000 customers overseas and in
the region of 300,000 future bookings cancelled
· Government has asked CAA
to charter more than 30 aircraft to bring back to the UK Monarch Airlines
customers currently overseas
· Monarch customers in the
UK and yet to travel: don’t go to the airport. There will be no more Monarch
flights
· Monarch customers abroad: everyone due to fly in
the next fortnight will be brought back to the UK at no cost to them. There is
no need to cut short your stay
All future Monarch Airlines bookings, including flights and
holidays, have now been cancelled following a decision by the company’s board
to stop trading. This is the UK’s largest ever airline to enter
administration.
As all of Monarch’s flights due to depart from the UK have now
been cancelled, customers should not go to their UK airport. Affected
customers still in the UK should check monarch.caa.co.uk for further information.
Due to the unprecedented number of UK consumers currently
overseas who are affected by this airline administration, the CAA and
Government are securing a fleet of more than 30 aircraft, flying to more than
30 airports, to bring 110,000 people back to the UK at no cost to them. This is
the equivalent of operating, at very short notice, one of the UK’s largest
airlines.
The CAA has a dedicated website monarch.caa.co.uk, which is the best source of advice and information for
affected customers, and a 24 hour helpline (0300 303 2800 from in the UK and
Ireland, and +44 1753 330330 from overseas) to
provide additional assistance.
Customers currently overseas should check monarch.caa.co.uk for confirmation of their new flight details which will be
available a minimum of 48 hours in advance of their original departure
time. This website will be frequently updated with the latest
information. Customers currently overseas shouldn’t go to the airport unless
their flight back to the UK has been confirmed on monarch.caa.co.uk
Andrew Haines, Chief Executive of the CAA, said:
“We know that Monarch’s decision to stop trading will be very
distressing for all of its customers and employees.
“This is the biggest UK airline ever to cease trading, so the
Government has asked the CAA to support Monarch customers currently abroad to
get back to the UK at the end of their holiday at no extra cost to them.
“We are putting together, at very short notice and for a period
of two weeks, what is effectively one of the UK’s largest airlines to manage
this task. The scale and challenge of this operation means that some
disruption is inevitable. We ask customers to bear with us as we work around
the clock to bring everyone home.
“We urge people affected by the company’s collapse to check our
dedicated website monarch.caa.co.uk for advice and
information on flights back to the UK. It also gives information to those
passengers that have future bookings with Monarch but are yet to leave the UK.”
The CAA will be providing regular updates as our flying
programme develops.
