For the last financial year to September, the firm reported pre-tax losses of £485.3 million, blaming a “difficult trading environment” and higher fuel costs.

Chief executive for Europe and the UK Peter Fankhauser said: “It is never easy to make decisions that impact directly on our people, but we also owe it to our customers to shape the business effectively and ensure that, when they book their holiday with us, our administrative costs are as low as possible.”
