History

In 2013 the CEO of Thomas Cook Group, Harriet Green, merged the British Thomas Cook Airlines, Danish Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia, German Condor, and the now-defunct Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium into one single operating segment, after the closing of Thomas Cook Airlines Canada.[4][5]

The United Kingdom's Civil Aviation Authority announced on 23 September 2019 that the group had gone into liquidation. While the British subsidiary Thomas Cook Airlines ceased operations immediately, all the other remaining airline branches continued to operate.

Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia was bought by separate investors and rebranded on 1 November 2019 as Sunclass Airlines,[6] Thomas Cook Airlines Balearics ceased all operations on 26 December 2019,[7] and also Thomas Cook Aviation on 2 April 2020.[8] As of April 2020, only Condor continues to operate.
