The website of failed travel company Fly Direct Ltd has been sold and launched as a new travel booking site.
Chris Whiteside, the new owner of flydirect.co.nz, said that as a gesture of goodwill all commissions made within the first year from the website will be donated to the customers who were left out of pocket from the failure of Fly Direct Ltd.
"Liquidators reported at least $120,000 is owed to passengers, however it is not yet known if there will be a dividend to unsecured creditors," Mr Whiteside, who has appeared on TVNZ's The Apprentice NZ, said.
Fly Direct, which advertised ski holiday packages into Wanaka from Christchurch and Wellington, was placed in liquidation before its first snow season flight -- leaving around 500 people that booked with the company out of pocket.
