LONDON - British authorities are scrambling to bring home 110,000 travelers after Monarch Airlines collapsed on Monday, canceling all flights by what had been Britain's fifth-largest carrier.
The Civil Aviation Authority said it has leased 30 aircraft to transport Monarch customers scattered around holiday destinations ranging from Turkey to Spain and Sweden. Flights will be provided at no additional cost to passengers.
