A tour operator with more than 12,000 holidaymakers currently abroad has gone into administration.
Brighton-based Holidays 4 UK, which also traded as Aegean Flights, sold packages and flights to Turkey.
The Foreign Office said the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) would ensure that all customers were able to fly home as planned.
It said customers should arrive at the airport in time to check in for their flights as normal.
Travel association ABTA said there were currently 12,800 people abroad with the company and all were in Turkey.
Holidays 4 UK had an annual turnover of about £35m.
The company flew from a number of UK airports, including Belfast, Cardiff, Bristol, Gatwick, Edinburgh and Glasgow. The company generally used Onur Air, a Turkish low-fare airline.
