That doesn’t seem to be happening at the moment. Police reading statements to passengers at the gate telling them their holidays are cancelled and will be escorted to baggage reclaim. They will be refunded and get a £200 voucher *if* they book another TUI holiday (I imagine many wouldn’t dream of that). Many people need to take annual leave which can’t just be moved at the drop of a hat so will have lost their holiday this year.
