monarch Airlines... Gone.
As a business owner, with definite cash flow issues, it always scares me when i see the big bois folding..... i find myself sitting here at my desk, listening to the news wondering what chance the small fish like myself have???? Cant imagine how many staff and effected customers in relation to this!
Business is just one massive risk...... scary when you have kids relying on you.
Sorry if this has effected anyone on the forum!

A lot more difficult to run than a small business through. Cost control in an airline must be a nightmare nevermind the massive competition.

My neighbours were supposed to be off this week for a couple of weeks in the sun whilst I plaster their stairwell and hallways , it was working great for both of us as could make as much mess as I wanted and they would just walk into a fresh clean finished job , not now

We're due to fly out on Thursday. Villa sorted but now we're not sure if we can get there! Super inconvenient and annoying!

We are due to fly out to Madeira at the beginning of December with Monarch. Quite correctly the travel company are dealing with those stranded first. So at the moment we have no idea whether we'll be going or not. We booked a holiday at the exact same time to the same place in 2016 and I managed to have a heart attack the day before we were due to fly. I am very thankful that I took ill before we flew or I probably wouldn't have been writing this post!

We lost our flights when XL Travel collapsed in 2008. The first thing I did was book new flights for us all that evening. They cost a fair bit more than the originals, but the important thing, holiday sorted. We then contacted ABTA and barclaycard, either of whom could cover the cost. We eventually received a full refund, for the original flights, from ABTA, about 7 months later. Have fun.

I definitely hear that, if you take the self employed route in whatever industry youre in there will always be factors you cant control, but you need to be able to adapt, recover and keep going...

Hi Maxman
You do have a point. Although we have been holidaying there for over ten years. Hopefully we can rebook. In the scheme of things it is not really that important.

Sorry for all the staff and people directly impacted by this. Terrible times. This has been on the cards for a good while, so only a case of when, not if..
In a bizarre twist having flown with them several times each year for years to Malaga, for unrelated reasons I booked with Norwegian to fly this weekend. Feels like a bit of a lucky fluke
