Glasgow travel company ceases trading

Glasgow-based David Urquhart Sky Travel has ceased trading, two months after its sister company was forced to wind up its coach tour operation.

A message on the company’s website says: "With the impact of Covid-19 resulting in worldwide travel bans, David Urquhart Sky Travel has seen an almost complete cessation in new bookings and suffered cancellations across all destinations.

"This has unfortunately resulted in the company being placed into administration.

"Donald McNaught and Matthew Henderson of Johnston Carmichael were appointed as Joint Administrators of David Urquhart Sky Travel Limited ("DUST", "the Company") by Notice of Appointment by the Directors, which was lodged in the Court of Session on 16 July 2020.

"The Company has ceased to trade and is no longer taking any further bookings.

"The majority of holidays sold by DUST were flight inclusive packages and these were protected by the CAA’s ATOL scheme.

"DUST also sold a small number of cruise only holidays (which are protected by Financial Failure Insurance) and also sold holidays as an agent for other tour operators.

"Please note that the Company has ceased to trade and the Joint Administrators are not in a position to process refunds to customers. It is not anticipated that any customers with bookings will have a claim as a creditor of the Company."
