(29 April 2009)

Thomas Cook cancelled all Thomas Cook and Airtours flights to the Mexican resort of Cancun for the next seven days.

Holiday firms Thomson and First Choice have cancelled all outbound flights to Cancun and Cozumel, up to and including 8 May, and are starting repatriation flights for British holidaymakers already in Mexico.

Virgin has cancelled package holidays to Mexico until 5 May, and tour operator Kuoni until 3 May.

British Airways, which has four flights a week to Mexico City, said it would not be cancelling any flights.

Thomas Cook, Virgin, Kuoni and TUI (which owns Thomson and First Choice) said that travellers booked on cancelled flights could delay their holidays, re-book to another destination or receive a full refund.
