Flylolo: Holidaymakers furious after thousands buy tickets from budget airline that has no planes

Thousands of travellers heading for Spain for half-term have been told their flights have been abruptly cancelled. Hundreds more, who are already away, may need to cut short their trips and pay again to get home. Three weeks after Thomas Cook collapsed, a company called Flylolo has told customers that the flights they had booked in good faith will not take off. The “paper airline”, which operates only by selling flights with other carriers, sold seats to the Canaries for flights over 3 successive weekends. Thursday the firm told travellers on the flights from Scotland they would not be flying. Flylolo’s founder and CE, Paul Dendle, said: “The issue was the aircraft we thought we had a firm agreement on was withdrawn." <br/>
