Tourists still stranded after airline goes bankrupt, cancels flights

At the end of September, the simultaneous bankruptcies of two separate Scandinavian airlines stranded tourists at multiple airports across Europe.

On Sept. 29, Reykjavik-based low-cost carrier Play Airlines announced that it was stopping all operations while Braathens Aviation, the parent company of two airlines running flights from smaller cities in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, similarly announced that it was canceling all flights that it ran for chartered airlines Ving and Apollo after efforts to emerge from an earlier bankruptcy ultimately failed.

As first reported by Spanish outlet Maspalomas, isolated groups of Swedish tourists are still left stranded on the Canary Islands a week after their flights were canceled.
