| What happens with Monarch Airlines now? | What happens with Monarch Airlines now? |
| Monarch has gone into administration after failing to gain a renewal of its Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (Atol) from the Civil Aviation Authority. This meant it was no longer able to sell Atol-protected holidays from midnight on Sunday and, accordingly, announced it had appointed KPMG as liquidators. The CAA has taken over Monarch’s website and the Department for Transport has set up two helplines: for passengers in the UK, 0300 303 2800; for passengers abroad, +44 1753 330 330. | Monarch has gone into administration after failing to gain a renewal of its Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (Atol) from the Civil Aviation Authority.

| Monarch also has an airline and an engineering business. In theory, the other parts of the group could continue to operate. It would be up to the company’s board to decide whether or not this would be viable, or whether a buyer could be found for all or parts of the business. | Monarch also has an airline and an engineering business.
