Thomas Cook balance sheet in turmoil
The tour operator desperately requires an injection of fresh capital, with it recording a £1.5 billion loss in its half-year results back in May.
The size of Thomas Cook’s debt is also spiralling out of control, with the company holding more than £1.4 billion on its balance sheet.
Thomas Cook’s troubles started last year after a heatwave saw holidaymakers opt to stay at home and enjoy the sun, rather than travelling abroad. The tour operator has also had to contend with political and economic uncertainty caused by Brexit, along with rising fuel costs.
