The UK has launched what is being called its biggest peacetime repatriation effort, as the country makes efforts to bring home over 1 lakh customers stranded overseas after Monarch Airlines ceased trading on Monday. Closure of Monarch Airline, UK's fifth largest, has affected nearly 9 lakh passengers in total, while almost 90% of its 2,100 employees have been laid off.
