Passengers stranded by airline collapse:

"Air passengers due to return to the UK have been left stranded around Europe after the collapse of a carrier which had operated for just seven months.
Duo, which was based in Birmingham and Edinburgh, cancelled all flights past midnight after it went into administration.
The move left passengers due to return to England and Scotland having to find other means of leaving Nice in France, Munich in Germany, Shannon in the Republic of Ireland, Geneva in Switzerland and Olbia in Sardinia.

Auditors Deloitte said it was 'uncertain' whether any cash would be available to refund tickets. "

And so got lucky

I had just checked their ticket prices but procrastinated
until I had cash rather than credit to get a return BRUM to Copenhagen and back to go and be a cat sitter at their flat for a friend who has the use of a summer house.

PHEW !

as an OAP i can't afford that -- it was Mærsk Air
so some of the managers who bought it out, probably risk losing their homes:-(
