2nd British travel company collapses
A second British vacation company has gone bust, the country's aviation regulator said Sunday, the same week the U.K.'s No. 3 tour operator collapsed.
XL Leisure Group PLC went into liquidation Friday, leaving around 50,000 of its customers stranded abroad, and the Civil Aviation Authority said it had so far managed to arrange flights home for a little less than half of them.
A second tour operator, K & S Travel, ceased trading Saturday, the authority said, affecting around 150 people in the Turkish coastal town of Bodrum.
