... flightglobal.com ... "Thomas Cook files for liquidation" ...Leisure firm Thomas Cook Group and its associated UK companies have filed for compulsory liquidation after discussions on recapitalisation and restructuring fell through.
The company says in a 23 September statement that the discussions "have not resulted in agreement" between its stakeholders and potential investors, leaving the board with "no choice but to take steps to enter into compulsory liquidation with immediate effect."
It made the application to the UK High Court and was granted permission to appoint an official receiver to act as the company's liquidator.
... flightglobal.com ... "Forty aircraft recruited to repatriate Thomas Cook customers" ...Leisure firm Thomas Cook’s collapse has triggered a huge repatriation effort to ensure that over 150,000 holidaymakers will be able to return.
All Thomas Cook flights have been cancelled as a result of the firm’s failure.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority says it has recruited about 40 aircraft for the programme – reportedly named ‘Operation Matterhorn’ (*) – describing it as the “biggest-ever peacetime repatriation”.
Fonte ... flightglobal.com ... https://www.flightglobal.com/news/artic ... fa-461016/ ...UK government investigators will be asked to prioritise a probe into the collapse of leisure firm Thomas Cook Group, following its failure to secure a rescue deal with Chinese firm Fosun Tourism Group.
Fosun had been approached, earlier this year, to take part in a recapitalisation of Thomas Cook and had been prepared to invest £450 million as part of a broader £900 million rescue deal.
But the tentative agreement fell apart when Thomas Cook was unable to source another £200 million to assist with relieving seasonal pressures.
The Chinese company says it is "disappointed" that Thomas Cook was unable to find a "viable solution" for the recapitalisation with other parties, including its banks and bondholders.
... flightglobal.com ... "Thomas Cook's Condor still flying but seeks bridge loan" ...German carrier Condor is to seek a government-backed bridging loan to preserve liquidity after the collapse of associated tour operator Thomas Cook.
Condor is 49.9%-owned by Thomas Cook Group, according to the leisure giant's annual report, but it is treated under accounts as being wholly-owned and fully consolidated.
The carrier is one of dozens of airline and tour operator associates and joint ventures linked to Thomas Cook.
While much of the Thomas Cook Airlines fleet has been grounded as a result of the group's filing for insolvency, Condor is continuing to carry out flights.
"Condor continues to operate as a German company," it says.
... ainonline.com ... "Thomas Cook Needs £1.1 billion to Avoid Collapse" ...The British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) on Friday called on the UK government to intervene and prevent the collapse of Thomas Cook Group, which urgently needs £200 million ($250 million) in order to safeguard a £900 million recapitalization deal and its survival.
If the integrated travel group cannot secure the additional funding and files for bankruptcy, which according to UK media could happen in a matter of days, it could trigger one of the largest airline failures in Europe.
Thomas Cook Group owns airlines in its three main source markets in Germany, the UK, and Scandinavia - Condor, Thomas Cook Airlines UK, and Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia - as well as Thomas Cook Airlines Balearics, based in Majorca, Spain.
As part of its ongoing restructuring and to raise cash, it put its airline division up for sale earlier this year, though so far without success.
... "Thomas Cook’s Collapse Prompts UK's Largest Repatriation" ...Thomas Cook Group filed for bankruptcy early Monday morning after talks with Chinese shareholder Fosun, banks, and creditors over the weekend failed to secure final terms on the recapitalization and reorganization of the 178-year-old travel company.
The total effect of Thomas Cook’s demise remains unclear, but reportedly it has left some 600,000 travelers around the world stranded.
The group reported revenue of £9.6 billion last year and sold holiday packages to some 11 million customers and flights to 20 million customers.
Its airline division - comprising Thomas Cook Airlines UK, Condor in Germany, Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia, and Thomas Cook Airlines Balearics in Malaga, Spain - has a combined fleet of around 100 aircraft.
In the UK, the government launched what it calls “the biggest peacetime repatriation” in the country’s history and enacted Operation Matterhorn in cooperation with the Civil Aviation Authority to fly back the more than 150,000 Thomas Cook passengers abroad.
“The government and UK CAA is working round the clock to help people,” said transport secretary Grant Shapps.
“Our contingency planning has helped acquire planes from across the world - some from as far away as Malaysia - and we have put hundreds of people in call centers and at airports.”

The first day of the programme, 23 September, involved 64 flights and the transport of more than 14,700 passengers – over 95% of those due to return from holiday on that date, says the UK Civil Aviation Authority(*).

... flightglobal.com ... "German aid to Condor incenses UK pilots" ...German carrier Condor’s escape from the impact of parent Thomas Cook Group’s insolvency has ignited fury from UK pilot representatives.
The UK government did not step in to offer bridge funding to Thomas Cook when it sought financial assistance during the late stages of negotiating a rescue deal with Chinese firm Fosun Tourism Group.
But the German federal and state governments have signalled that they will guarantee a loan to assist Frankfurt-based Condor, which will also take formal measures to protect itself from insolvency claims from its parent.
UK pilot union BALPA, while not begrudging Condor’s survival, has demand that Thomas Cook Group’s management explain why the UK’s Thomas Cook Airlines “had to be closed” while Condor was allowed to continue operating.
