Symi Visitor Accommodation

UK readers will probably know that holiday company Goldtrail went into administration yesterday evening. It specialised in package holidays to Greece and Turkey, but also sold spare seats on its charter flights to independent travellers.

It didn’t sell holidays to Symi, so the scenes we saw when the XL group failed 2 years ago won’t be repeated today. There might be a few travellers who had booked seat-only with them who are on Symi (in which case the UK Civil Aviation Authority will make arrangements to get them home again), or have yet to travel, in which case they should be eligible for a refund of the fare paid, but will need to make their own arrangements for alternative flight bookings to continue their holiday.

I don’t know of any flights to Rhodes for which they were the lead charterer (though they certainly were to other parts of Greece and to Turkey), so all UK-Rhodes charters should continue to operate. If anyone knows of a flight which is cancelled due to the Goldtrail collapse, please let me know so others can rearrange their plans.
