Thomas Cook Group collapse: Statement from Blue O Two
UK-based Diving Tour Operators and their customers have been significantly affected by the collapse of the Thomas Cook Group and are working round the clock to help their customers with their travel arrangements. This statement is from Blue O Two:
On 23rd September 2019, Thomas Cook Group were placed into administration.
Unfortunately, Blue O Two has a substantial number of customers affected by the collapse of the group, which includes Thomas Cook Airlines.
Thomas Cook Airlines were due to be the supplier of the flight segment of travel on a large proportion of upcoming liveaboard holidays to the Red Sea.
The team at Blue O Two are now working as quickly as possible to identify solutions where alternative travel arrangements may be required. They will be contacting customers in chronological order, by departure date.
Blue O Two are also liaising closely with Thomas Cook Group and the Civil Aviation Authority to make suitable arrangements for the repatriation of any guests currently overseas.
Whilst they understand that customers may be concerned by this news, they are asking for patience at this difficult time.
If your booking has been impacted, then the team will be in touch as soon as they can to discuss your trip in more detail.
In case of emergency, then the team can be contacted via email on divingholidays@blueotwo.com, via phone on 01752 480808, or via LiveChat (when available) at www.blueotwo.com.
