Holidays 4 U ceases trading

Holidays 4 U, an independent tour operator specialising in
Turkey, has ceased trading today, Wednesday 3 August 2011,
and has gone into administration

Holiday 4 U are the tour operator that is responsible for most
of the Onur Air flights to the UK and indeed 4 of the 5 weekly
flights to Birmingham

As a result all their future holidays have now been cancelled
and the CAA will be repatriating their holidaymakers currently
abroad - tomorrow/Thursday's Onur Air flight to BHX should
operate normally but will depart empty

At this time the CAA have not advised their plans for the rest
of the week but it is likely Onur Air will operate the flights
on the same basis but as they move into the second week of
the recovery operation flights will start to be consolidated
