First Monarch, now Thomas Cook. But these are just two of the higher profile failures in the airline travel industry. In fact, the UK's Civil Aviation Authority deals with "about 15 or 20 companies that go into liquidation every year," the regulator's chairwoman, Dame Deidre Hutton, told Today.

She said Thomas Cook was operating in an "incredibly competitive" market, but had some specific problems - such as failing to adapt to changing consumer demands.
A comment she heard a couple of days ago sums up the issue, Dame Deidre said: "Thomas Cook is operating on brochures, whereas the world has moved on to barcodes."
