Two British carriers go belly up

Posted by Seth Miller on 12 September 2008 in Uncategorized | 23 Views

Two more carriers shutting down to report for the past two weeks, both out of Britain.  They are actually both more tour operators than traditional carriers so that may have something to do with their shutdowns.  The two are XL Airways, which shut down this morning stranding 67,000 passengers in overseas destinations, and Zoom.  Bad news for everyone involved in both cases.
