Hundreds of people have been left stranded and up to 60,000 have lost bookings after the collapse of the low-cost transatlantic airline Zoom.
The carrier suspended all its flights - blaming the economic downturn and steep rises in fuel bills.
Zoom, founded in 2001, flew mainly to Canada from Glasgow, Gatwick, Belfast, Cardiff and Manchester airports.
Zoom said BA and Virgin Atlantic were offering lower fares for passengers whose flights had been cancelled.
Thousands of people due to fly with Zoom in the coming weeks have been told the airline has gone bankrupt and they should rebook with other carriers.
