JetGreen Airways Gone bust

Will we get our money back if the airline is 'bonded' ?

A girl in work was filling me in on the details saying that no money will be returned. People who are on holidays now however will have there return flights honoured.

Could be wrong though :eek:

AFAIK they were bonded so money should be returned

They were not an airline. They had no airline licience. They were flying under Icelandic Air's call sign (FI). Reckon first in line looking for dosh will be Icelandic and then the handlers, Servis Air I think. After that joe public if anythings left. Could be bonded though but not sure as its not stated on their website.

I think they are bonded.

But according to this website in the *UK

IF they're bonded it dont mean jack..

According to the story on Aertel :

"The Aviation Regulator, Bill Prasifka, said all JetGreen Airways' passengers would be covered by a bond lodged with his office. JetGreen has left passengers in Spain to make their own arrangements for getting home, despite the terms of its licence. Thousands more people who had booked tickets over the internet will also be recompensed. " from here

So ppl should be fairly ok, apart from having to make their own way home if they are stranded. Im sure Ryan Air or Aer Lingus will be trying to squeeze as many stranded ppl on their flights as poss.....

Possibly even to the extent of putting on an extra aircraft or two...although thats purely speculation on my part.

Jetgreen were licenced as a Tour Operator. They have the services of a licenced airline to take passengers. They were not licenced as a travel agent or as an airline.

It's pretty incredible that they only lasted a week. I had a feeling though that their low fares + meals on board + first class policy would end them up in trouble.

My brother is getting married in rome in a few weeks, half his friends had booked with these guys, now they won't be compensated in time to make alternative arrangements, fairly lously i think.
At last count around 45,000 people had booked with them, only a few got the 1 or 2 euro flights.

Although getting stranded in spain wouldn't be so bad, good excuse for work on a monday morning.:cool:
