British travel firm Thomas Cook has collapsed after the company couldn't find the 200 million pounds it needed to stay afloat.

Thomas Cook's website was taken down shortly after 2am, and replaced with a message from the Official Receiver.

It leaves 150-thousand British people, who are already on their holidays, abroad and stranded.

The UK's Civil Aviation Authority says it's launching the largest ever peacetime repatriation to get them all back.

A fleet of 40 Jumbo jets on standby to start flying around 160,000 Britons home from more than 50 destinations over the coming fortnight.

People have also been left at airports across the UK with nowhere to go.
