If you are currently abroad and your flight was with Thomas Cook we are providing new flights to return you to the UK. These repatriation flights will only be operating for the next two weeks (until 6 October 2019). After this date you will have to make your own travel arrangements. From a small number of locations, passengers will have to book their own return flights.

If you are currently abroad and due to return to the UK after 6 October 2019, please read the additional information section.
If you are ATOL-protected and are having difficulties with your hotel, please read managing difficulties with accommodation.
PLEASE NOTE: Some of Thomas Cook's package holiday bookings include flights with airlines unrelated to the Thomas Cook Group.  If your return flight is not with Thomas Cook's airline, it will still be valid. However other elements of the package, such as accommodation and transfers will be affected

At least 4 Thomas Cook (TC) planes landed today, following a post on FB they came in empty to take TC passengers home so it would appear they are using TC planes as part of the repatriation program

Yes, right from day one they've been using TC planes for repatriation. Almost all the TC planes were leased, not owned, so I imagine the real owners are happy to keep getting some income!

My wife and I were booked to go to Mexico in November, but the flights were with Thomas Cook.  We can't get alternative flights, so the whole trip has been cancelled.  Not happy!

I think you'll find they were Condor flights from Germany. They have about 6 or 7 on Saturday's. The planes are a similar colourway.

Repatriation to the UK is via a third party airline. Probably Titan or similar. The Official Receiver usually does not allow the planes to leave the UK on fear of them being held ransom outside of his control.

Wasn't there a 747 in FUE today? More likely the CAA paid for flight.

Ask Pauly on the other forum. He is the expert.
