ScotTravel, a tour operator specialising in holidays to Turkey, has gone bust, leaving about 1,500 tourists stranded abroad and thousands more facing disruption to their summer holiday plans.
The Glasgow-based company ran two websites – scottravelholidays.co.uk and guletcruiseonline.co.uk – and had an Air Travel Organisers Licence (ATOL).
On its website, Scot Travel Holidays, states: Any customers with enquiries should refer to the CAA website at www.caa.co.uk. For any forward departures passengers should not make their way to the airport.
On the CAA website, the aviation authority is advising those with advance bookings for Scottravel to submit a claim to the CAA or their credit card company.
The CAA also says it will be making arrangements to ensure that customers currently abroad can continue with their holiday. Claim forms can be downloaded via the CAA website (www.caa.co.uk). Contact telephone numbers for the CAA are 0207 453 6700 (office hours) or 0207 379 7311 (after office hours).
