as to pax ''getting a lift home'' that is why we have the CAA and funds and bonds lodged by tour operators and airlines to have rainy day money just for this type of event
this was set up in 1974 after the huge Court Line and Clarksons/Horizon collapse
I would love to know where you are getting your info from, because your going against everything that has been stated by the CAA, government, reported in the mainstream press or the travel trade press. The Air Travel Fund is covering the cost of ATOL bonded passengers only, which is about 5% of Monarchs passengers. The rest are flight only and the government will have to try to recover the money from credit or debit cards. Why do you think the CAs are handing out forms to recoup some of their costs if they were going to get it back anyway?
The fund was set up in 70s to cover bonded travel companies and passengers. Monarch flight only passengers are not covered by it, and haven’t been since last year.
If it’s going to pay out for passengers who were not covered by it, why would you ever pay into it in the first place?
It’s not about having your “moment” it’s about being accurate. So if you have proof that the fund is going to cover Monarchs flight only passengers let’s see it, I’m happy to be proven wrong.
