Monarch has confirmed that the following companies have ceased trading and now entered administration:

    Monarch Airlines Ltd
    Monarch Holidays Ltd (ATOL Number 2275)
    First Aviation Ltd (ATOL Number 4888) previously trading as Monarch Airlines
    Avro Ltd (ATOL Number 1939)
    Somewhere2stay Ltd

As a result, we are sorry to inform you that, as of 2 October 2017, all future holidays and flights provided by these companies have been cancelled and are no longer operating.

The UK's biggest peacetime repatriation operation has been launched to bring home 110,000 holidaymakers after Monarch Airlines was placed into administration.

A total of 300,000 future bookings were cancelled as result of the firm's collapse,  the largest to hit a UK airline, and Monarch passengers were told not to go to airports because there would be no more flights. 

Those who have bought Monarch flights as part of a package with an ATOL certificate have financial protection. But the majority of passengers, around 95 per cent, have bought flight-only deals, for which consumer protection is much more complex and uncertain.

How will Monarch customers be affected? (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41463787)

It's going to leave a hole in the market for the smaller package holiday operators, e.g. Olympic and others who fly to Greece/Kef.
