As an ex-employee of Astraeus, one heard that a deposit was required by the CAA, and the CAA required regular increasing amounts. If such a sum was required and held by them, I hope it will be retained pending payment of staff and all suppliers. I understand nobody was paid at all for work, services or goods supplied to Astraeus. Yet the travel company Astraeus was flying for (Icexpress- also owned by the same holding company) had a standby airline ready to take over the return flights of the cancelled services and CSA Holidays all set to continue operating IEX services. Meanwhile, numerous people in the UK are counting their losses. Very tacky.
But this is not Astraeus or IEX, it's WOW, but the dividing lines do seem vague sometimes!
