Direct Booking with the Airline
There is little protection where flights are bought directly from an airline. However, if passengers paid directly by credit card and the amount is more than £100 they might be protected by S.75 of the UK Consumer Credit Act 1974. Passengers should check with their card issuer for further advice.
Booking via a Travel Agent
If passengers booked the flights through a travel agent or tour operator, they should speak to the agent who may have airline failure insurance from which they can make a claim.
Travel Insurance
If passengers travel insurance policies cover journeys from the Isle of Man to the UK, they should check whether their policy provides protection for scheduled airline failure. Most policies will just cover the cost of the original tickets purchased and not the additional costs incurred in purchasing new flights.
If passengers are not covered by the protection above then it may be useful to contact the liquidator, Mike Simpson of Island-based PricewaterhouseCoopers in writing and register as a creditor of the company.
