For some, it will be little more than a blip in their holiday plans. But for thousands of others, the collapse of Monarch Airlines has been a cruel bolt from out of the blue: 2,100 jobs gone in the blink of an eye, dream holidays ruined, hundreds of pounds in replacement flights, and even a couple who couldn’t get to their own £12,000 (US$16,000) wedding.
Monarch Airlines collapsed overnight into Monday, leaving 110,000 people potentially stranded abroad and hundreds more out of pocket.
