The Spanish government has chartered four aircraft to take thousands of travellers stranded by the collapse of the Air Comet airline to their destinations.
Air Comet offered mainly cheap flights between Madrid and several destinations in Latin America. It has been experiencing financial difficulties ever since the global financial crisis erupted.
Earlier this week, Spanish aviation authorities withdrew the airline's licences after it requested protection from its creditors and laid off all 600 employees. Since then, travellers have been stranded at airports in Latin America and Spain. Because it is Christmas-time, other airlines have been able to offer only a few vacant seats.
The Spanish government expects to pay six million euros for the charter flights.
