Balkan Holidays today announced it had ceased trading with immediate effect
Jet2 has slashed its holiday prices to Bulgaria following the sudden closure of Balkan Holidays. The £100 off deal seeks to make it ‘easier’ for passengers wanting to rebook holidays.
Award-winning travel company Balkan Holidays today announced it had ceased trading and all future holidays would be cancelled. The firm, which was established in 1966, has left customers scrambling to make alternative arrangements as their breaks, including long-awaited summer getaways, have been axed.
A spokesperson for the company said: “We regret to inform you that Balkan Holidays Ltd has, as of 24th of April 2025, closed for business in the UK. Clients currently on holiday will be unaffected.
“The company remains solvent, but has ceased trading, however all forward holiday bookings have been cancelled.
“All clients will be notified and refunded in full. May we kindly ask for patience as we process the refunds and appreciate your understanding.
“Thank you for your past business and please accept our most sincere apologies for the disappointment and inconvenience.”
Following the news, Jet2holidays has launched an offer giving people £100 off holidays to Bulgaria for this summer and next summer if they have a myJet2 account. Those without an account can get £90 off, the MEN reports.
The discount can also be combined with Jet2’s Free Child Place Holidays.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2holidays said: “The closure of Balkan Holidays is very sad news indeed, and our thoughts are with everyone who is impacted.
“We know there are many customers wanting to enjoy their well-deserved holidays to the Bulgarian sunshine, so we are making it easier for them by offering them money off, as well as a simple and easy way to book.”
