No non riesco a vedere nulla mi spiace anche io vorrei sapere chi e'..non penso che sia una compagnia aerea comunque..puo' essere un TO che si basava su XL?
Se non ho capito male, (scusate ma mia figlia mi gridava nelle orecchie, quando Emilio Fede ne parlava), dovrebbe essere First Choice.

A second British tour operator has gone bust days after the collapse of XL Leisure sent the travel industry into turmoil.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said K&S Travel informed them it had ceased trading last night, leaving 150 passengers in Bodrum, Turkey, requiring alternative flights.
It comes after 85,000 overseas Britons were left stranded on Friday following the demise of XL - the UK's third largest tour operator.
K&S Travel, which also trades under the name Travel Turkey, is the latest casualty of worsening times for the travel industry. The north London-based firm primarily organises package tours to Turkey through flights chartered through Onur Air.

The CAA said holidaymakers were covered by the Atol protection scheme, and that it was rechartering planes from Onur to ensure that disruption was kept to a minimum.
A spokesman for the regulator said: "We will be organising for those people affected to complete their holiday as planned and come back to the UK as planned."
But it will prove a further headache, coming at a time when the CAA is in the process of airlifting thousands of people affected by XL's collapse.
It will also mean that 460 people who have future holidays booked through K&S will see their travel plans dashed. They will be entitled to a full refund through the Atol scheme, the CAA said.

The collapsed tour operator XL Leisure Group was warned of "financial irregularities" by its auditor almost two years ago, it has emerged.
In a strongly-worded resignation letter, accountancy firm KPMG claimed in October 2006 that it was blocked from investigating alleged misrepresentations by company directors that could have resulted in "material errors" in financial statements.
XL went into administration in the early hours of Friday morning leaving about 85,000 British holidaymakers stranded overseas.
Since then almost 12,000 people have been brought back as part of an airlift mission conducted by the Civil Aviation Authority.
The warning of potential financial irregularities at XL was made in a Companies House filed document dated October 16, 2006.
In the document KPMG explained why it had resigned as XL's auditor.
It stated: "We are no longer able to conclude that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the profit of the Company and its subsidiaries."
An investigation into arrangements between XL and a supplier concluded that information had been "misrepresented" to KPMG from "certain directors".
As a result "financial statements were likely to contain material errors", auditors concluded.
But they were blocked from investigating the matter further, leading to the resignation.
Some 200,000 people in total have seen future holiday plans go up in smoke as a result of the tour operator's collapse, although most will be compensated.
