The first flights bringing Thomas Cook holiday-makers to the UK have landed amid some reports of disruption.
The UK government has said it will run a "shadow airline" for two weeks to repatriate the 155,000 UK tourists affected by the firm's collapse.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps said its response to the crisis was "on track so far" and "running smoothly".
Hundreds of thousands of vacationers were left stranded when one of the world’s oldest tour companies, Thomas Cook, announced with some of its flights still in the air, that it was going out of business.
The 178 year old travel company had been in poor financial health for some time. It announced its closing after negotiations to obtain £200 million pounds, in emergency financing fell apart over the weekend.
