Both Thomson and Thomas Cook are unhappy with the handling of the Ash crisis, and you can bet their will be few strong words said when they meet Lord Adonis#

Tui Travel chief executive Peter Long and Thomas Cook chief executive Manny Fontela-Novoa, who are joining airline bosses to meet transport secretary Lord Adonis for a second time later today, said it was clear the government underestimated the impact of closing UK airspace.

Travel companies Tui Travel and Thomas Cook yesterday said they were losing a combined £13m a day even thougth the restrictions on flights have been lifted

Tui which own Thomson and Firschoice, became one of the first companies to detail the effect of the volcanic ash cloud on the tourist industry, when it warned investors that the hiatus on air travel was costing it as much as £6m a day. It added that it had lost £20m during the first four days of the crisis.

Thomas Cook said the flight ban was costing them an average of £7m a day.

Tui it seems has around 100,000 customers stranded overseas. Two of the company’s UK subsidiaries, Thomson and First Choice, said they had 45,000 holidaymakers stuck abroad and were launching a rescue for 5,000 Britons in Spain.

The group confirmed that it is meeting the costs of people who are unable to travel.
