Gay Wholesaler Falls Victim of XL Collapse

Gay vacation packager Throb Holidays has ceased operating, blaming its demise on the collapse of XL Airways, Throb’s primary air supplier.

The U.K.-based company was in business for 14 years, specializing in packages to gay-friendly destinations in Spain.

“As a result of the collapse of XL Airways/XL Leisure Group, we have unfortunately been unable to contain the damage this causes us in both the immediate term and in the future, where the lack of flight capacity we would have relied upon from XL Airways for new reservations makes continuing trading impossible,” the company said on its website.
