Thomas Cook customers to fly home after firm collapses (23 Sep 2019)
The first of 155,000 British tourists are being flown back home after travel agent Thomas Cook collapsed on Monday.
The UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is co-ordinating the repatriation, the biggest in peacetime, after the tour operator "ceased trading with immediate effect".
Thomas Cook's administration puts 22,000 jobs at risk worldwide, including 9,000 in the UK.
