Firstly my thoughts go to the crew and pilots among other staff at Orbest and I hope they will all remain in employment in the Industry through some means, be it merger or re-investment in the airline in its current form.
Secondly I am wondering what will happenen with regards to my Orbest flight in july, an operation on behalf of Thomas Cook ! Is it likely that Air Europe will take over their charter operations? Or will the tour operator have to contract another airline ? This surely wont be an easy task as most airlines will have full schedules for July! Especially charter airlines! Any ideas as to what will happen?
