Gatwick based Pure Flights Ltd has ceased trading stranding roughly 300 holidaymakers abroad.

The company operated charter flights from major UK airports to eastern Mediterranean destinations including Greece, Turkey and Egypt.

Pure Flights held an ATOL licence, number 5870, and the CAA is making arrangements for stranded passengers to fly back to the UK as planned.

Customers due to fly with Pure Flights should submit a claim to the CAA – claim forms are available on the ATOL website.
