A UK travel firm has collapsed, meaning thousands of overseas holidays will have to be cancelled.

The news comes just three days after Scottish based travel firm Globespan also went bust, leaving 4,500 holiday-makers stranded abroad.

Allbury Travel Group, which operates under the brands Libra Holidays, Argo Holidays and JetLife, announced last night that it had ceased trading. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said in statement that "there are fewer than 100 holidaymakers currently abroad and approximately 4,000 customers with forward bookings who are yet to travel" affected by the announcement.

The CAA added it would be assisting in bringing home those passengers currently abroad.

Allbury Travel Group operated air package holidays and flights out of Gatwick, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Leeds Bradford airports to Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt, selling mainly through travel agents. CAA's advice to Allbury travellers is that they should not go to their departure airport, as all holidays have been cancelled.

Allbury customers who are currently abroad should contact the CAA for more information on 0044 203 441 0846.
